Recently returned from travelling around Asia, Australia and Europe after an incredible 2 years. Witnessed many different cultures, people and experiences learning from all along the way. Started my trip in Hong Kong and China, catching up with old friends before making my way to South East Asia. First stop was Thailand, then Laos, on to Cambodia and then motor biking up Vietnam. Enjoying beaches, cities and mountain passes. Seeing sights like Angkor Wat, the Cambodian killing fields, S21, Halong Bay and many more. Met many new people, fellow travellers and locals who helped me learn about the areas along the way. After Vietnam I flew to Australia, through Singapore, and started driving around the country. In Melbourne I started work as a 'chippy' building the wooden frames for new houses on site, come rain or shine. Learnt a great deal and enjoyed every second of it before leaving for Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Cairns. From Cairns I flew back to Melbourne, worked once again in construction, then to complete a ski season in Mount Buller, Victoria working as a ski hire technician. When my visa ran out in Australia, I travelled back to the UK where I bought a car and travelled around Europe stopping in as many places as possible and returning for Christmas. Overall it has been an incredible experience, however it is time to get back to work and start building my career again.
