It’s been almost 2 years since we left New Zealand and set off through South East Asia for two months. We went through Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and at the time we thought we would struggle to live out of a suitcase for that long. We thought wrong.
I think that trip was the best I’ve been on (which is a tough competition) mainly because it was longer and that allowed us to really soak up the place and relax.
We’ve been throwing ideas around of future longer trips we could take and also getting nostalgic for our trip; back when we didn’t have jobs, a lease on a flat or many possessions. Life was simple and fun then (not that it’s particularly bad now though!).
We’ve been looking at buying a GoPro for recording some more travel clips along with other gadgets and have been wishing we took more video when we travel. I spent a bit of time digging around on the computer and I found a treasure trove of video clips from our trip back in 2012. Most of them are pretty poor quality (I’d like to blame our cheap little camera but mostly its my poor camera skills at fault). We did manage to do up a bit of a montage of our trip anyway.
Hopefully we get back there one day as this video makes me miss the place!
That’s a great video! While I’ve never been to that part of the world before, your video definitely has made me miss traveling. It’s been SO many years since I’ve gone on a huge trip. Hopefully I’ll be able to make one happen sometime relatively soon.
Thanks Sharon – it is a beautiful, fun and crazy place. I can’t wait to go back. That 2 months was the only “huge” trip I’ve done really (other than through US and Canada) so I can’t wait to do another one. Hope you get to go on another huge trip soon!
