Embracing the Nonstop Adventure of My Whirlwind Asia Trip
Embracing the Nonstop Adventure of My Whirlwind Asia Trip
Hello, globe hopping friends.
What a wild multi-day, multi-flight, transcontinental adventure it has been, friends! Let me break it down for you all in this blog post recap of my exhilarating but exhausting trip spanning Asia and North America:
☑️ Up all night Friday unable to sleep in excitement for my 6am Saturday flight from Hartford to Chicago. The 2 hour flight was smooth but then I had a 2 hour layover in the Windy City.
☑️ Next came the big one - my 13 HOUR Saturday marathon flight from Chicago to Tokyo! I mainly tried to sleep and watch movies while cruising over the Pacific. Landed in Japan on Sunday night(? Well, time zones make it hard to tell!) for a 4 hour layover.
☑️ Final leg was the roughly 8 hour hop from Tokyo to my destination of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on Monday morning around 12:05am. But the craziness wasn't over yet...
☑️Visa issues meant I had to immediately book an onward flight out that the next morning! So there I was, posted up in the HCMC airport for over 24 hours, on 2 hours of sleep getting ready to fly to Bangkok, Thailand on Tuesday morning.
This travel game sure keeps you on your toes!
I found a nice bench to sleep on for the night and was on the flight to Bkk!
While totally exhausting both physically and mentally, the nonstop excitement and need to rapidly adapt to changing situations is part of why I love the unpredictable digital nomad lifestyle. You have to be willing to embrace unexpected adventures and roadblocks when you deliberately step so far outside your comfort zone!
Luckily the destination change to Bangkok ended up being a wonderful surprise. I'm resting up while also making time for all the spicy Thai street food and dazzling temples I can handle over the next few days before figuring out the visa situation.
So if any friends happen to be passing through Bangkok, hit me up! I'd love to meet up with a familiar face in between visa errands for some local sightseeing and story swapping sessions about our global wandering adventures! And I'm very open to insider tips on must-see places to visit in Bangkok before my next spontaneous hop to who knows where!
Stay wild out there fellow travelers! ✈️ Don't just dream about incredible global adventures - make them happen even when plans dramatically change! Approach each day with an open mind, and you never know what unexpected delights you may encounter.
