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. Unfortunatly their past three days hadn't been much fun, as both got really ill.. Sooo my first day in Chiang Mai was spent in the hospital, getting both checked out. Luckily it was nothing serious, and after a few hours we...

Laos, what a beauty! As I am writing my next blog about Laos, I am cruising down the Mekong river on a slow boat. Intoxicated by the breathtaking beauty  everywhere I look, I am starting to think that Laos is the most beautiful country of all the ones I have visited!

Awesome Asia? Culture shock! Easy understandable Australia-life is far away from Asia, apart from geographically ;) but that doesn't mean traveling isn't great here!! So I arrived in Singapore airport (where I believe thy have carpet on the floor and is completely designed for shopping: flying is a side detail). I took an airport transfer that brings you to the door of your hostel (luxury!) where I entered the tiniest hostel I stayed in so far.  In Asia it is...
