I've always enjoyed writing although I may not be particularly good at it, I've always enjoyed recording my experiences. In fact, I set up the company blog and was one of the main authors, so I would say that I am fairly qualified to write my own blog. So the story begins with me jacking in my job 2 weeks ago but long before that I had always dreamed of doing a lot more traveling and I'm not talking about the one or two week break to some sunny beach but the real traveling where all your senses are pushed to the limit and everyday becomes an unknown adventure.
I chose Asia because I've always been fascinated by it's culture, people and landscape, not forgetting to mention the amazing food. I knew I would be getting good food every single day for next to nothing. After a stint in India October last year, I pretty much made up my mind that I needed to go back and learn more. A lot more. I don't think Asia will be too hard to do too, especially for a 'first-timer.' To be honest on a scale of one to ten in terms of a difficulty rating, I think it would probably rank about five because it is pretty cheap, it has been well travelled by many, it has a good transportation system and I think it might also be a little bit more female-friendly compared to the other 'tougher' destinations.
I have to admit, It feels a little odd to not be in my usual work routine and yes, I am a little nervous but I think as soon as I step off of that plane in Mumbai, I think that sense of freedom and curiosity will hit me as instantly as the hot humid Indian heat. So here goes, let the adventure commence! By the way, if anyone has any recommendations for places to visit and stay in Mumbai, please feel free to share these!
