I've finally made my way through all 5,300 photos I took during the trip. Some turned out pretty well, many turned out horribly. It's been great going through them all, reliving the journey along the way.
Since coming back I've been asked about the highlights. It's really so hard to choose, but a few moments really stick out for me.
In the Philippines, my 3 day trek through the rice paddies was a spectacular experience. By trekking along I was able to visit areas that I'd likely have missed otherwise. Although it was scary at times, the scenery was unbelievable and it was a worthwhile adventure.
In Mongolia, the Naadam festival was also a highlight. The whole festival was so unlike anything I've ever experienced. For anyone thinking of going to Mongolia, I'd highly recommend planning a trip around the festival in July.
Otherwise, I will always remember such experiences as watching a Mongolian family blow-torch a marmot, hiking along the Great Wall, SCUBA diving with sea turtles and feeding bananas to monkeys.
This will be it for the blog for now. Hopefully I'll be off on another adventure soon enough at which point I'll get back to this. Until then, thanks for reading!
