Hola! My name is Mei from Sunny Australia. I had a dream to travel the world by myself for about 10 years which remained dormant until last year (2018). As soon as I decided to take the leap of faith to follow my dreams . I didn't give myself much time...or save that much money...but I made it happen! One year later, I've set foot in 3 continents (South East Asia, Europe and South America), I've walked through the crazy streets of India, gone on tuk tuk rides in Thailand, caught many Grab bikes in the sleepless and bumpy roads of Vietnam, slept on extremely long and uncomfortable Flixbus rides through Europe, slept on floors of Couchsurfing hosts' places, spent too much time in hostels in South America, lazing around and cooking to save money. I've hopped onto countless metro trains and Uber rides throughout the world. How could I forget all the Blablacar rides I caught between different cities. Heck, I've even hitch-hiked my way around different parts of the globe, "stolen" leftover food from other tour groups in Uyuni and worked in a few farms. The moral of the story? I have a thing or two to share from my journey :) That's my goal anyway ~ to tell a story, paint a picture of what it's like to travel through a certain country, city or village and pass on my travel 'wisdom'.
Thank you so much for your thoughts Helen! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way :)
