Well, after an amazing 8 months I am now home, back to cold England. Certainly weird coming home and will take some time to adjust I think, a free upgrade on the flight home definitely helped things though, made the flight better. So nice to have leg room on a plane! I am looking forward to catching up with everyone though, just not all the unpacking.

I have had the time of my life though, I couldn't have asked for a better trip and experience! I have seen such incredible sights, done so many great activities, but more importantly have met such amazing people. People that have had a huge impact on me (some certainly more than others) and people I know will certainly be friends for life. Couldn't have asked for anything more than that :-) The people you meet definitely make the trip incredible, my trip wouldn't have been the same if I hadn't of met the people I have.

I have had my eyes opened by some of the people I've met and places I've been, none more so than the Cambodians. They are the nicest people I have ever met and are just so happy and grateful to be alive each day, makes you appreciate what you actually have and how lucky we are.

Cambodia, Vietnam and Western Australia were my favourite places of the trip. Such different places but I loved them all. Everywhere, though, I would go back to. When you start travelling it makes you realise how many places there are to see in this world, I don't think I've finished travelling yet that's for sure. I have a nice long list already of where I want to go next :-)

I have also had such fantastic support from everyone at home whilst I have been away so I am very grateful for that, thank you to everyone for their messages and keeping up to date with my trip.

All in all it has been the best thing I have ever done, couldn't have asked for a better time. Just went so fast, too fast!! At least I have lots of great photos and so many fantastic memories. I have just had so much fun :-)

Well, back to the real world now................
