As I left Da Nang airport for home last Wednesday, I remembered how one year ago, I left home for Da Nang with plenty of bravado, a sense of adventure and a desire to learn to dive. And how I eventually met an equally adventurous Thai lady who stuck with me throughout my stay in Hoi An and who is still in touch with me now. I enjoyed the freedom of going about on my own, choosing to do what the heart fancies. Yet single travellers face a whole set of challenges, especially single female travellers.

Do you enjoy travelling solo? How do you curb pangs of loneliness?
Da Nang airport has changed so much in just a year. It has abandoned the dingy open air concept and adopted a modern glass façade. Pity the glass house effect this time of the year though. Sometimes I wish for the plates to move overnight so that I can wake up in a cooler climate!

As the plane took off, I sat among the clouds, floating where the wind blows. The invisible force. From the window seat - the privileged view - I saw the yielding land beneath the fluffy white layer. Fatigue kicked in but sleep eluded me. And I sought temporary solace from Neil Gaiman's "Fragile Things".
Will share about my work trip to Jakarta and the weekend getaway to Kuala Lumpur next!
