Planning for this trip ended up being a little rushed to my liking as I wasn't entirely sure where in Asia I wanted to go and it was also dependent on whether I got a bonus at work so I had enough spending money for the trip. Usually I plan my trips well in advance but with decisions around selling my home and buying a new one I knew that I needed to get this trip in quickly. I was torn between Th... Read Full Entry

I'm a passionate traveller and very content when exploring different places. I love to experience new cultures, as well as getting the opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world. My life changed somewhat in 2019 when I became a daddy and my priority has changed but my desire to travel very much remains. I have a fascination with Latin America; this is because of the beautiful scenery, fantastic wildlife, different types of cultures and history. I even learnt some Spanish to help when exploring these countries. TravelBlog has allowed me to share my stories with frien... full info

You are right we often enjoy the travel planning as well as the travel itself. That wonderful sense of anticipation is energizing. We have not made it to Hong Kong yet and may need to use your friend. LOL. We will use your blog as a guide when we finally get there.

Wow, you certainly fitted a lot into your visit to Hong Kong - well done Alan! I think I would also have chosen China over Thailand, simply because it seems more exotic and less visited.

Thank you, Alex. I really did feel like I did a lot with my time in Hong Kong and there was still more that I missed out on. I think HK is one of those places where you can go back to and a great choice as a stop-over location to break up long-haul flights. I wished I had more time in Macau but glad to have experienced what I did :)
