Dagaetch
In 2015 I took a break from real life and traveled for 6 months!
I started my adventures in Southeast Asia, specifically Thailand. While I have no regrets about starting there, and I ate extremely well, I had not yet adjusted to a ‘road’ mentality, and spent time more in cities going to tourist stops. I’d love to get back to Thailand some day and explore the country more. I also took a boat tour down the Mekong River into Laos.

My trip began in Bangkok. I was absolutely doing standard tourist stuff to start – guided boat tour, check out the temples, etc. I did get to dip my toes into the street food experience (yum), eased into walking many miles a day, and just adjusted to being halfway around the world in a very non-Western culture. Bangkok worked very well for that, it’s an incredibly tourist friendly city that is easy to manage but also feels very different. A good starting point for a trip like this – but I also want to go back to experience it with a more practiced approach.
