Last year I traveled through Thailand during the low season months of July and August. I’m back in Thailand during the highest possible season during the months of December and January. There’s high season and than there’s peak season within the high season. I feel like I’m traveling in a whole different country.
Travel Advice
Today marks 600 days of living outside of the box. Over two years ago, I had this grand idea to travel the world and to see and experience as many things as possible. The more research I did, the more I felt I had to see and the longer I knew this lifestyle would exist in my life. For the first few months of my trip, it all felt like a dream. I was city hopping every few days (or everyday), going from village to village, going to every world heritage cultural site, and meeting an endless amount of people. The hardest part of my day was figuring out what to eat from the endless selection in every country. It was exactly what I wanted… or so I thought.
A lot of my decisions revolve around music. One of my must-do’s while traveling is to take in as much of the local music as possible. In fact, several times I’ve changed my entire travel plans just to hear a band or go to a venue to hear a DJ play. I can hardly write this article without having music in the background. I’m obsessed.
When your travel plans go wrong, you might find yourself in unfortunate sleeping circumstances. Perhaps your flight is cancelled or you learn the bus service runs less frequently than advertised. Maybe the hotels are too expensive or you are far away from a hostel. Regardless, you’re now stuck in a public place with nothing but your backpack and a slightly anxious feeling in your stomach. Worst of all, you’re exhausted.
I have thousands of pictures of me standing in front of moments, landscapes, and buildings from my travels. Since I’m backpacking, I don’t have much of a selection of clothes. They look as if I’ve been standing in front of a blue screen changing the scenery on Photoshop. It get boring after awhile. What about the people you meet, the partying, and random encounters? These moments need to be captured.
