My Journey
This is an index page. Every post that’s included in my Asian journey will include the date, as well as a short title which relates to that particular entry. On this index page, I’m going to list every entry in date order so you can pick and choose which date, country, or city you’d like to look at. I’m not thinking that people are going to read through every single post (some people might!), so I want to make it easier for folks who want information or an insight into particular areas of Asia. Please make good use of this index page!
I’m going to be sharing with you my journey throughout East and South East Asia during 2019 and 2020. I kept a written journal which I wrote in everyday, for 8 months, right until the day I arrived back at home. I’m going to be publishing every day of my journey, with fleshed out journal entries, photos, any tickets or paperwork I’ve collected on the way, as well as any tips or tricks I’ve garnered which could save you if you ever get in to some hassle.
