198 Days I can't believe I've reached the end point in this life-changing travel adventure. Thinking back to the moment I started my adventure it seems like a lifetime ago. And I guess in some ways that is true. When I left for Africa I was in pain, heartbroken and struggling to get through each day. I had lost my compass, my confidence, my dreams and beliefs, and in many ways my happiness, by losing my mother. I didn't know how to be me without her. My future d...

Thailand, best country to finish in! Thailand, my last country in a journey of many many countries :) After having a very relaxed travel journey on the slowboat from Laos, I arrived in Chiang Maimand met up with my travelbuddies from the UK.

It is in the south of Laos, and as Lo...

Cambodia, what a bliss! First of all Cambodia is a bliss for the ears: traffic is just as crazy, but they do it without honking. Thank you!

And third: I spent my far away from home Queensday completely painted in orange (and some obscene symbols, seriously?) so really, Cambodia couldn't have offered me more ;-) But, still with Sophie at that time, we first force...

I just said bye to Sophie, and it's time to look back on an amazing 3 weeks. Yes, I was robbed last week, by a guy who yanked my purse off my shoulder and breaking the straps, while we were waiting in front of our hostel to get in. A real case of bad luck. I comfort mys...
