I’ve been travelling for seven months so far and I’ve learn’t an awful lot about how to stay safe in Asia.

Can you believe that it’s only 4 days until I leave! It has come round so fast! I have had a very hectic week with moving out, sorting all of my possessions so that they fit in a box room and planning the perfect packing list! As I said in my last post I have…
