My Thoughts on Traveling

Facebook Twitter Email Linkedin Digg Delicious Stumbleupon Reddit Tumblr

Ever since i went for my first trip overseas to Cambodia last year, i was hooked on South East Asia. I was pretty reluctant to board the plain back to Malaysia and for the next 2 months missed the country and the people like hell. I am besotted by the beauty and history of these wonderful countries like never before.

Before this, just like majority of the people out there i would dream of a luxurious vacation to places like Spain, Paris and Rome. To cities or shopping destinations like Hong Kong, Australia, New York and Japan. I failed to see the wonder of countries just above our borders. My idea of traveling was to board business class flight, book into a great hotel, shop and have romantic dinners among other activities.

Climbing Angkor

Now, to me traveling is all about experiencing the culture and getting mesmerized by the incredible historical architecture. It’s pure bliss. I mean, i am young… for now. Before i am too old and weak with joint pains, why not go to places that would require my energy and stamina. I sure can’t imagine myself climbing Angkor Wat or backpack across Nepal at the age of 40 or 50. Besides, South East Asia countries are developing a tad too fast for my liking. I hope i get the chance to visit before everything is modernized.

My life traveling plan for now is in this order:-

Cambodia–> Vietnam–> Thailand–>Laos–>Myanmar–>Indonesia–> Nepal–> Christmas Island–> Manhattan–> Europe (Spain especially)–> Jordan–> Maldives–> ???
