Back home
It’s been two and a half months since I’ve returned „home” home (the term of home is starting to become ambiguous to me as the more I have the abroad experiences, the more I feel I’m leaving parts of my … Continue reading
A life in a year.
A few weeks ago I saw the AIESEC Brazil posting a quote that truly summarized my experience: “An exchange is not a year in your life. It’s a life in a year.” This is exactly what my more than a … Continue reading
Giggles in Londontown
Day 101 – Day 106, 29/5/2012 – 3/6/2012 This was my 4th time in London and even though I’ve seen most of the must-see tourist attractions, London has a vibe that keeps me wanting to return again and again. I … Continue reading

11 000 kms and 7 time zones later
Day 100, 28/5/2012 The day of returning back to reality. My flight from KL to London was at 10am, and this was one of my most stressful pre-flight experiences ever. It just proves that all of my previous flights have … Continue reading

Final days in Asia and the last mango
Day 97 – Day 99, 25-27/5/2012 We cannot stay in paradise forever, can we? As much as I didn’t want to, I had to leave the Perhentian paradise and return to Kuala Lumpur for 2 more days before finishing my … Continue reading
Ok, let’s go diving!
Day 88 – Day 97, 16-25/5/2012 If I really liked diving after the experience in Thailand and Cambodia, then I fell in love with it in Perhentians! Over the course of 9 days I spent in Perhnetians, I finished the … Continue reading

Day 88 – Day 97, 16-25/5/2012 I was leaving with a minivan at 8am from Taman Negara to Perhentian islands, so I spent all day in transit – Taman Negara was almost in the very centre of Malaysia, and the … Continue reading

Ankle-deep in the mud in the world’s oldest rainforest
Day 86 – Day 87, 14-15/5/2012 I was heading for some quality time on the beach, but the possibility of visiting the world’s oldest rainforest convinced me to make a stop in Taman Negara – which translates as “National Park”. … Continue reading

Upside down in the Universal Studios
Day 82, 10/5/2012 The day of rollercoasters, woohoo! I couldn’t have visited Singapore and miss out on Universal Studios, could I? I visited it on a Thursday, so the park was not crowded and I could enjoy all attractions without … Continue reading
The Construction Masterpiece that left me speechless
Day 81 – Day 84, 9-12/5/2012 I had slept like a baby in the train, so when the immigration officers on the Malaysian side woke me up, I was not in my best spirits, and it was still dark – … Continue reading
