Asia 2016-2017

This is the third and final leg of my two-year journey around the world.

After my jaunt through Europe, I embarked on what was probably the most anticipated leg of the trip; Asia! I would start in the melting pot that is India, popping into Sri Lanka and Nepal, before making my way through South East Asia via Myanmar. I then headed north into China before popping across to Japan. I then had one last stop in Indonesia on the way back home to New Zealand. Funny that Asia would be the last continent I would set out to visit given it's the closest one to home!
