Hive account@oliviackl This was the one opportunity I saw myself having freedom of time and budget to travel. There were other complications like being solo meant costs were higher to do certain things, eg. no sharing costs of taxis or rentals. I am unsure when I'll have something like this again ever, but I'll definitely go on short trips here and there in the future!

I planned the duration roughly and I had a few countries I wanted to visit in mind, and general course. The rest I just decided whilst I went.

For eg, I knew I wanted to go to Russia, then so happened the World Cup was happening, then some friends contacted me to meet in London, so I had to plot my travel to London.

I definitely did try Naxi Lemak and Ice Kacang but I only had 3 days there and could not eat everything :(
My friend took me to some spots for local 7 ringgit meals! Awesome!

Beef brisket noodles is one of those local dishes that will remain a part of my childhood hahahhaha!
