The travel bug hit me hard while I was on a semester exchange programme at the University of Leeds in the UK, 3 years ago.
My part time work at a bar prior to the exchange experience helped pay for my crazy travels around Europe. I took a bus out every weekend to a different UK town and spent the Easter holidays in the main continent.
Guiltily, I spent more time seeing the world than attending classes and reading my texts! (But then again, that is what the exchange is for).
Travelling opened my eyes to a world away from the sometimes protective confines of an Asian society. It fed my soul and expanded my mind. And so, here I stand, still touched by that magical experience, still looking for places to go and mountains to climb.
"Shakespeare is the happy hunting ground of all minds that have lost their balance."
- Ulysses, James Joyce
Holy shit, the quote explains so much! (A joke, dear readers)
