Greetings!

Hie Friends!

So I've just recently returned from a 3 week backpacking tour of South East Asia and Japan!!! A lot of my friends were asking me that how did i manage to plan all this or when did I start planning so I figured I should probably start a blog about my travels and the preparation before it. The other reason why I decided to do a blog is because I'm pretty forgetful and so in this way I can easily recall the various experiences and expeditions I went on during this tour.

Full disclosure, this was not my first backpacking tour. The first one was in 2014 for about 2 weeks around Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand while I was staying in India at the time. I got interested in backpacking after a Filipino roommate I was staying with in South Korea (way back in 2012) told me he was going backpacking to Tokyo and that sounded so fascinating and like a completely foreign idea to me. However, in 2014, a friend of mine and I decided to try it and I fell right in love with backpacking from then on.

Hopefully, this blog will help motivate someone into trying out backpacking across the globe and discovering how amazing an experience it is, with all the good and bad combined. My name is Robert  (by the way, my day job is in infosec so i'm not a full-time traveler) and I hope you enjoy my posts 😉😊😊
