Counting down the days

Well, i can't believe how quickly this is all coming around.
Three more weeks and ill be over in South East Asia.

At the moment, every day that goes past brings me a new feeling, whether it be anxiety, nervousness or excitement.
It seems that at the moment, one day i will be so happy that the trip is getting closer and closer, and the next day i am dreading it.
I'm afraid that i will miss my friends and family so much i wont enjoy myself while i am away. But its generally a normal thing for me to expect the worst.
I'm sure i will have the time of my life.

I have managed to get pretty much everything organised so I'm almost ready to go. I have bought nearly everything i will need to take with me on my trip, Backpack, camera, laptop and a good sleeping bag. I've organised my Visa's, my passport, photocopies of all my documents. A load of flights and accommodation booked throughout asia and have organised my Foreign currency.

I feel like I'm ready to take on the world, but we will see. there will be something there that i have totally forgotten.

I'm happy when people ask me the question 'how long are you going away for?' and simply replying that i have a one-way ticket. I really would love to just get lost overseas and see how far my savings can get me, wind up working in a Kibbutz in rural Israel or something wild like that.

This will be one hell of an adventure regardless of whether i come back in 6 months or in a few years time. It's going to be really interesting as to where abbots in the UK exactly i will end up settling down in and finding work, i have put no thought into that what so ever.

  1. Where's your first stop?
    I'm leaving for Cambodia via Bangkok on the 8th of July, but unfortunately only for 2 weeks.
    Wishing you luck Majda! Hope you are challenged, inspired and end up in Kibbutz!
    Peace bro,

  2. First stop is KL, then to phuket, koh samui and bangkok... last stop in Cambodia is going to be pretty special i think.
    2 weeks is still plenty of time to get your bearings about the place.
    thank you very much for your well wishes, i hope that you have a fantastic time over there and it brings you many new and exciting experiences.
