Loved every minute of everyday, made me who i am today, even the bad days!
Some high points: met my wife in Australia, got to travel with my brother some of the time, saw wild Orangutans, swam with sharks etc etc, every day a crazy ass day!
Some low points: got arrested in Bali, nearly drowned 3 times lol, saw the destruction of the rain forest at first hand (illegal logging) and saw trapped gibbons and other wildlife for the pet trade....so sad!
We are in a dark time right now, but most of you guys are younger so have time on your side.
Don't let excuses get in the way of stopping you going where you want to go to, once this Covid shit has calmed down, go do what you need to do, see what you need to see.
I am older now so cant back pack and trek like i used to do in the jungle, i need my luxury now. However i loved Turkey and want to head back asap and my dream is to travel Canada one day.
Cheers Basa.
