South East Asia highlight reel.

As we jet-set away from Bangkok, it’s time to look back at some of the awesome and not so awesome - but memorable - moments of South East Asia. It was a destination that I have never been drawn to - not like Central or South America where I can let the sexy Spanish language wash over me and get embarrassingly whisked around the salsa dance floor, by some incredibly hot Latino man, looking like an uncoordinated giraffe. Nevertheless I am so grateful that I came. Singapore: The communal breakfast table at our hostel was a source of inspiration. I met a Malaysian woman who is trying to achieve world peace through teaching dance at universities. She grew up in South Africa and went through a programme aiming to integrate cultures after appathied ended. It helped her immensely and now she is sort of doing something similar throughout Asia and teaching tolerance and other worthwhile lessons like waste management. If that wasn’t enough, she is also a travel writer and rides motorbike
