Travel Things I Want To Do Before I Die
- Go to Japan to learn how to make sushi. Also plan to eat it.
- Explore Mongolia
- See as many different animals as humanly possible - I want to see them all!
- Visit Bhutan as it is supposedly the happiest place on earth.
Best Moments
- Living within a Lepcha community for three months - I really enjoyed not having any electricity and it was extremely refreshing not being contactable
- Meeting the Dali Lama in McLeod Ganj
- Seeing giant tortoises in the Galapagos
- Attempting to cross roads in Hanoi - terrifying but at the same time amusing
- Spotting elephants on the side of the road while being driven to my hotel in Sri Lanka
Toughest Travel Moment
- Travelling in a leg cast while in Vietnam, trying to get into a kayak in Halong Bay was a definite challenge.
Weirdest Travel Moment
- When I was living in a tribal community in India, I joined in with several chicken killing parties - when these took place school was cancelled and the day was spent hacking a chicken and then cooking all parts of it while drinking chee (millet beer)!
