Most Memorable Travel Experience
.sitting in an old school bus for 9 hrs from Siem Reap to the Thai border, driving on extremely bumpy roads (if you even call them roads!) and getting my ass bruised.
.getting worse than stoned by the "extra happy" pizza in Siem Reap, Cambodia (word of caution: "mildly happy" is enough if you want to try!)
.staying in a rural village in cambodia for 2 weeks.
.skiing for the first time in Mt Buller, Melbourne in 2006 and how I was too ambitious by going to the intermediate slope after only 5-6 hrs of skiing. i fell on a steep part of the route and had so much trouble wearing my skis back a stranger had to help me!
.jumping backwards off the cliff in canyon in Queenstown, NZ and free falling god knows how many metres.
.kayaking in the untouched breathtaking beauty of Abel Tasman, NZ, in winter
.running out of gas while driving towards franz josef town in NZ. we kept looking at the fuel gauge indicator, praying hard that we'd see a gas station soon as we didn't wanna have to stop and push the car. thank god a gas station appeared in the nick of time!
.solo trip to Spain for 3 weeks and meeting awesome locals and travellers from all over
.living with a host family and attending a school in Sevilla
.Granada, every moment of it.
.stepping into Anfield for the first time and singing the anthem before the game
.hiking up to the summit of mt ophir from the base camp at 3am in the dark with nothing but torch lights, to catch the sunrise
.riding a horse in the beautiful meadows in Australia.
.riding a police jeep in the streets of Nha Trang, Vietnam, and getting smashed with some really cool people
.tubing in Vang Vieng, Laos and having to swim against the current in the dark because we did not finish the route on time.
.soaking in the beauty of the Blue Lagoon in Vang Vieng
.swimming at the top of the Koungsi waterfalls in Luang Prabang
.taking a jeepney in the Phils on my own in Batangas
.diving in Anilao
Profile
“Not all those who wander are lost.”

i love travelling and getting out of my comfort zone. i love spontaneity (too much plans and i can't breathe!). i'm so random at times and i'm very clumsy. someday, i want to meet a baby lion. someone once said i'm an earthquake but really, i'm calm and shy.. hahahahha. i like surprises and i'm always up for meeting new locals/travellers/travbuddies!

Oi!!!!! I'm going to bloody brain you! "meeting Grandpa and co.!! :)" Your MMA needs to have hardened you up by the time I see you!

I'll drag you off to Boracay again and eat that darn Bayon so you pack it in :P

Anyway, just talking to Derek. Prob going to have a few days spare pre-Indo as it's monsoon in the Malaysian Islands, so I doubt it will be busy there. Was thinking of coming down to SG for a couple of days. Just a pre-warning hahahahahaha See you soon!
