I'm going on an adventure!
17 januari 2016 - Leusden, Nederland
Dear family and friends,
As you might have noticed I'm writing this blog in English. For those who know me well; i've got family and friends all over the world, so I want to give them the opportunity to read my blog as well (you're welcome). And for my Dutch friends: i hope you can practice your English this way!! :) It might take me some more time to write it, but it's worth it. For those who'd like to follow me: you can subscribe with your email and you will receive a notification everytime i post something.
So.... just two more nights and i'm heading off to SEA! Until this weekend, it all still seemed very unreal, because i was waiting for my visa and had to book a hostel for the first couple of nights etc. And besides that, i'm still recovering a little bit from my jet lag i got in Chile. But everything is in order now and i'm ready to pack my back!
My first stop will be in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I'm very excited to get to know this enormous city!! Can't wait to learn about the culture, the food and people.. Then after 4 nights i'll be heading to the beautiful country Myanmar (Burma). I've got my visa and my ticket booked with AirAsia. I will arrive in Yangon, which is the former capital of Myanmar and the country's largest city (5 million inhabitants!!). I've heard so many good things about this country, so now i'm ready to see it with my own eyes. But the best thing about this 3 week trip through Myanmar is that i will be doing it with my very good friend Jolien!! After travelling for 3 months through Asia, she now is a complete backpacking-expert so i think we will be just fine! :) (no pressure Jolien;))
I'm still not sure where to go after Myanmar.. Thailand? Vietnam? I'd like to keep my options open and let myself be surprised..
As some of you probably know, i will be leaving with mixed feelings. This week has been terribly rough for a very good friend of mine and she and her family will be facing an incredibly tough period. My thoughts are with them and i wish them all the strength and love there is in the world.
Holland, I will see you in 4 months.
Love,
Amanda

Ik ben zeer benieuwd naar je ervaringen.
