The fun thing about going out on your own is that you will be more confident in handling things independently. That's what happened to me.
I enjoyed going places, meeting people and doing things together, only thing is that with new friends, and not someone from work, from school, nor your own family. It was thrilled and enjoyable to get to know people who had quit their job to embark on a year's journey to discover something they have never discovered before. I wonder was it because Caucasians are fond of doing so, as it appears to me that Asian seldom do so. I wonder why.
On this trip to Perhentian on my own, I have the pleasure to meet new friends - Kay and Mark (English), Kathy (Irish), Ryan (American), Ruffy (Swiss), Joanna and Piter (Polland). Listening to these wonderful people sharing experiences and tips along the way before Perhentian, has been by far exciting adventures. I feel like jumping onto the bandwagon of doing nothing but travel, if my finances allowed.
But then, I am too coward and scared. Scared to loose a steady stream of income to make a decent living, just to be like them. I wonder if other Asian thinks the same. Then again, I looked at my close friend, June, who had done the same on her own by doing nothing but travelling for a year and a half in Europe. I would want to do the same if I have the confidence and courage to do so. Any ideas how?
