Love it! I felt everything in this one 🙌 memories to last a lifetime.

Also very happy to be reminded of your quote, “How can he have been travelling for 7 months & still be that boring?” 😂

Hurray! Honestly – one of the best decisions I ever made. But I don't think I can take credit for that quote tbh. I think that was a Mike classic. Sorry Mike! I co-opted his hilariousness.

I started travelling on my own in 2018 when I went to Thailand and hated it, but then I challenged myself in 2019 to go somewhere I have always wanted to, Vietnam and it was the best decision I have ever made, gave me the confidence I needed not only to go travelling but also to try new things at home!!

YES to this! Love to hear that. So glad you went again after a bad first trip. Interesting that you must have assessed why it didn’t work out the way you wanted that time and decided to still give travelling solo another shot. That’s what it’s all about: asking brutally honest questions of ourselves. Love that you’re so into it now. Thanks so much for the comment 🙌
