I'M GOING TRAVELLING...

So the time is almost here, I’M GOING TRAVELLING!! I thought I’d write a quick little update blog on my plans, where exactly I’ll be heading and of course the packing list!!

I’m about to set off on probably the biggest adventure of my life to date and it’s fair to say that I cannot wait! I plan on keeping my blog going whilst I’m out there and keeping you all up to date with where I am, the amazing things that I have seen and the experiences that I’ve had.
I’ve planned the trip on my own and although it’s scaring the shit out of me a little bit, I can’t wait for all the opportunities that come my way, all the various cultures I will learn about and all the amazing people that I’m going to meet!

First of all I’ll be landing in Bangkok for 3 nights before heading to the North of Thailand, where I’ll then take a ride down the Mekong River over to Laos. I’ll fly to Vietnam and travel down to Cambodia, then back to the south of Thailand to go island hopping! Work my way down Malaysia to Singapore, where I’ll then fly over to Melbourne, Australia. From there I’ll travel up the East Coast past Sydney, Yamba, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Noosa, Rainbow Beach and Fraser Island, Airlie Beach and Whitsunday Islands, Magnetic Islands to Cairns! Where I’ll spend a few days then have a pit stop in Bali for a few weeks before returning home!

Packing has been the biggest panic of all and no matter how many other travel blogs I have read, there is nothing better than actually having a trial pack. This entails having the bag that you plan on taking with you and fitting all the stuff you would like to take, if it doesn’t fit then have a rethink! I’ve tried to go as basic as I can, as I know that all the stuff that I may need whilst I am out there, I can actually purchase along the way. So a trip to Primark was in order, I wanted to buy basic tees and cami's that I could wear for any occasion, as well as a few pairs of shorts. I also wanted to get a good quality pair of walking sandals, a new camera (one that was smaller than my DSLR so it was easier to carry) and canvas bag for day trips. hese were the main bulk of items that were on my list but of course all the other little essentials to take with me (in my opinion) are listed below.

• Flight Confirmations 
• Travel insurance 
• Visas

• Shorts - denim pair and cotton 
• T-shirts 
• Sundress

I'll be sure to keep my blog updated with all the adventures that I embark on and if i don't regularly then, I apologise but i'm obviously having too much fun! Ha! But I will try to at least once a week! 

For any of you that are planning on going travelling, I hope my list has helped you! And do let me know if you have any other suggestions as to what I should take with me, but bare in mind I only have a small backpack! 

Much love xx
