Hey folks, so last year in February, I finally took the plunge after saving up like crazy and making sure I stayed solo. I’m currently in the midst of putting together a massive story of my adventures – I reckon it’s gonna be around 50 pages when I’m done. It all kicked off in Vietnam, where I checked out the north, scored a motorbike in Hanoi, and cruised all the way down to Ho Chi Minh City. Then I veered west through Cambodia for a bit before hitting up Thailand. This time, I did the top-down route, taking buses through Pai, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and the rad southern islands like Phangan, Tao, and Samui.
The highlight was probably chilling on Koh Phangan for a month, diving into Muay Thai and giving myself a breather (I’d been on the road for like 3-4 months by then). Next stop was Spain, where I tackled the Camino De Santiago – starting in Pamplona and hoofing it 750km west to Santiago De Compostela. Seriously, if you can walk just 10km a day, this is a bucket list must-do. Whether you’re after a spiritual, mental, or physical reboot, the Camino’s got you covered.
After a quick detour back to Thailand, I jetted off to South America for a whirlwind month (Chile, Peru, Brazil, and a couple other spots). I dragged a few buddies along for this leg, and we ended up trekking the Salkantay Pass (sitting at a cool 4km above sea level) – it was pure magic. Now, back to Koh Phangan for a lady, then off to Bangkok where I snagged a remote gig. Spent the whole year there before recently bouncing back home.
There’s so much more to this tale that I’m dying to spill here. If I break it down into chunks or drop a massive text bomb on this thread, would any of you be keen to dive in, or is this just me talking to myself? Safe travels, y’all! Oh, and quick heads up – I’m allergic to milk, eggs, and nuts. Got any queries or need a hand? Hit me up!
