74 Days of Summer

Bonjour everybody!

On November 14 I landed in Thailand. That day I exchange cold and grey European winter to exotic hot tropical and sweaty South East Asian winter. Yes, it's winter here although for my Lithuanian flesh it seems like it's summer.

I remember well my first days in Thailand; I could barely breathe and I could not imagine my life without a fan anymore. And now I can't live without a heat. +20 in the mountains seems cold and unbearable :) The idea of leaving this hot and humid climate really freaks me out.

It's amazing how human beings can adapt. We are indeed an extraordinary creatures adapting to any conditions of life. 

The time stops and runs as crazy in the same time when you travel. I am lost with day numbers, months and sometimes even years. The only time measure is booked flights or notes in my notebook. Otherwise time really doesn't exist.

Our travel plans, well to be honest there are no travel plans, we still travel with no directions. Last two weeks we volunteered in Bamboo Village close to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.
Volunteering was easy and very relaxing. Surrounded by million of cats and little kittens we lived an easy life next to the jungle. 

And then we had to make a decision. Where to travel next. We did explore Malaysia and felt like it's time to leave. When you don't have a plan it's hard to make decisions. Sri Lanka, Myanmar or Philippines. These countries were on a radar since Air Asia could offer some cheap flights and the weather season was lovely to visit.

Philippines have won. Visa is ready, backpack not yet. Tomorrow morning we will be travelling straight to the capital of the country I know so less about. Screw my geography lessons, now it's time to learn some real geography.

I wish you sunshine in your hearts!

Hello everybody,

Before I even start writing about my new trip beginning, let me explain about my trip Sweden.

I went there only for 6 days, to meet my very good friend, meet up with Dom and also take a flight to South East Asia.

Stockholm and areas around really reminded me of Lithuania, dark forests, a lot of lakes, even people somehow looked familiar.

We did some walking, tried local cuisine and ‘enjoyed’ some snorers in our hostel room. The crazy thing with Sweden was that at 4 pm it was already dark so we had many hours in the darkness which was a bit tiring but oh well, the most important that I met my good friend to say good bye before my big trip.

When the plane took off to be honest I was not sad at all, it was rainy, dark and cold weather and I was going to the summer. I didn’t even care that the flight will take 10 hours sitting in one place, from time to time moving to the toilet and back. The flight was good, we had fancy little screens with movies, music channels, games, and 3d map so I could check where I was going any time I wanted.

The first feeling when I stepped out from a train in this crazy city called Bangkok was WOW. The heat, humidity, crazy people driving like mental, cool tuc tuc drivers and so divine smells from the paradise food. Spices, mixing up with other smells, fresh exotic fruits that taste like heaven, this was just a beginning. Your minds can’t even imagine that, well at least mine. The cool atmosphere in the air, completely different than Europe. And then I did realize why so many people travel here. How can I live after now when I tasted the food that nothing can taste like that in Europe?  My life have changed J

Yesterday we were randomly stopped and checked by the police, in the middle of an evening, walking on the street, they checked Dom, me, asked for our passports, checked my bag. Weird. Did we look like the dealers?

Life is good.

With love,

Your adventurer
