2014 Backpacking Itinerary (4 months)
As you know, Jon and I met while backpacking last year in South East Asia. He left the UK in March 2013 while I left Iraq in April 2013 then we met in Laos in May 2013. We’ve been living together and working in Hanoi, Vietnam since July 2013 when we decided to venture into a new adventure for 2014. We started our trip last 21 February and here we are in England with 2 more weeks left on our 4-months straight of backpacking for 2014 and a year of being on the road.

I started the trip by flying out of Hanoi, Vietnam to Singapore. We had 2 days of transit in Singapore where we were hosted by my relatives. From Singapore, we flew to Chennai, India, then traveled to Goa to study Tantra Yoga. After the course was finished, we flew to the Maldives for a week then flew back to North Goa to meet Jon’s sister which then started our backpacking trip to the North. We spent our last 2 weeks in the country studying Ayurveda Massage in Rishikesh.
