Bagan; The very reason we planted Myanmar firmly on our list of not to be missed. Tempted by the huge plain of temples that were clouded in a thick mist of dust this place oozed magic, adventure and culture and was a place we were childly excited about. Arriving at the Bagan bus station at 4am with barely no sleep and then being harassed by taximen shouting $20 in your face was disorientating to ... Read Full Entry

Hi we're Chris and P. We have quit our jobs and sold our house to follow our dream of travelling around the world for 12 months!!! Let’s jump back about 2 years - We're driving to P's friend’s house for an evening meal when she turns and says "I've been thinking..." And what a thought that was indeed. That thought turned into buying a dilapidated property and spending a total of 2 years 'doing it up' ourselves coupled with a new job and a wedding thrown into the mix for good measure.

Quitting work and leaving it all behind gives you time to go to places like this....where they oozed magic. Each temple unique and different draws you in and leaves you wanting more. Beautiful sunsets... Hate is when the rooms are not ready. Happy travels.

Thanks Dave and Merry Jo, it certainly is experiences like this that has made our risky decision to sell up and quit our jobs completely worth it. We fully recommend it for people who have the opportunity to explore the world further; it gives you time to appreciate culture diversity, things that other cultures have that should be cherished, things we have back home that we take for granted along with putting a lot of things in life into perspective i.e. what we want in life instead of being caught up with the small menial things that can sometimes take over and draw you away from the bigger picture.
