This time last year....

It's amazing to think that this time last year I was in Mexico City after spending a month in Cuba.

This life on the road just seems to fly by and I'm often amazed at where this journey has, or is, taking me. As I indulge in a very short reflection.

I really enjoyed my time in Cuba. Its a country full of contrasts and I am constantly amazed at how happy they appear despite a lot of hardship in many instances. It really is worth going there before it changes.

Since this time last year, I've lived in Australia, Malaysia and now Vietnam. Phew! The thought of packing up and getting to a place, sorting out phones, where to buy supplies in multiple countries even exhausts me. If I let myself think of it!

I've also spent time in New Zealand (a couple of visits) and Singapore which I thoroughly enjoyed. I always enjoy getting back to New Zealand and the time there always seems so very short.

I'm enjoying Vietnam again even though its for work, I'm getting out and about again mixing with locals and eating in authentic cafes and restaurants.

Best coffee........Highland Coffee. It's locally grown and very very good.

I'm missing.....marmite. I had a goodie parcel posted from New Zealand over six weeks ago with a supply of marmite in it but unfortunately its gone missing!

I'm reading.......a very nice novel. The Horse Dancer by Jojo Moyes. It's the second novel I've read by her and this one is equally as good as the first which was The Ship of Brides.

I'm loving......being amongst all of things (well most anyway) foreign and just being out there doing it!
