Well, it's been almost our first month on the road. What a crazy few weeks it has been. We visited four countries, had four different currencies/exchange rates, three different languages (thankfully they spoke English in Singapore), took six flights, and countless taxis, ferries and tuk tuks. Why you may ask yourself, why would two girls who have a whole year to travel the world, be running through countries like TP when you have a cold (which we both did recently and used an absurd amount). Well to be honest we don't rightly know... When traveling you are continually looking at the current situation while attempting to be pragmatic about the future. As silly as it sounds, whether it be the fast paced lifestyle of the Western world still running though our veins telling us to move on or a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out). We have just been trying to see it all. While of course still attempting to be mindful of budgets, burn out and legalities such as Visas. We now have to admit above all else, we really just can't do it all.
However, in the great words of the Rolling Stones, while you can't always get what you want, some times you do get what you need. While this month was absolutely crazy with so many "mistakes" made. We learned some great lessons, that we will take with us moving into the next chapters of our adventures. Through the ups and downs of the travel blitz month, we met so many wonderful people, saw amazing sights and even got a few great cocktail stories to add to the books. Phew, hello 2017 you certainly started with a bang.
