WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO...
My travels around South East Asia...
In January 2020 I got on a plane and flew to Bangkok, Thailand to start my adventure.
When I completed my degree I did one week work experience at a creative company called SomeBrightSpark in Leicester, after this I worked two jobs (as a waitress at a hotel and as a barista at a local cafe) putting in many hours to fund my travels.
I managed to reach my target travel fund and had planned to travel around Asia for around 4-6 months. However, unfortunately due to Covid-19 I had to return after two months. Even though I had to come home early I had the most amazing time and saw some really beautiful things.
​
Whilst in Asia I travelled around Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. These countries are truly beautiful.

Please feel free to look through some of the pictures I took whilst I was away...

The below images were taken at Chiang Mai's Flower Festival (Thailand). This was such a lovely place to visit, it was really magical. The exterior design showcased was really inspiring!
When I was staying in Chiang Mai, I could not resist a day trip up north to Chaing Rai where the white temple is located (Wat Rong Khunn). It was a surreal experience visiting the white temple, the details on the building were so intricate and stunning. See images below.
I visited a popup exhibition whilst in Chaing Mai (One Love). I thought this was a great exhibition, the different components such as the performance stage, photo opportunities, seating and artwork made it a really interesting space that had a really romantic vibe.
I experienced so many amazing things whilst travelling, there is no way I would be able to show all of them.
​
The intricacy of the detailing that is in the architecture of many buildings (especially religious) is out of this world, an example of this is the Grand palace in Bangkok.
​
I also enjoyed learning about the history of the war in Vietnam, I went to many exhibitions and experiences where I was able to gain a deeper understanding of what events took place. I even visited the cu chi tunnels!

I have added some general images below from my travels...
