The itierary for my trip to Asia with my Aunt to meet Darrell has been completed. To be honest I leave this kind of planning to my Aunt, who is a seasoned traveller and been to many parts of the World in her time. We enjoyed our three weeks in Asia so much last year, that we are heading there again this year, to Japan and Thailand. Japan is a country I have wanted to see since I was a child and will be the highlight of the trip for me. Thailand will offer us all the opportunity to relax, at the end of another spectacular journey.

We will fly to Osaka in Japan, where we will explore this vibrant city and surrounding area. All of us want to visit the World famous Cat train at Kishi, Hiroshima and Nara national park. From Osaka we will travel by bullet train to Mount Fuji, where we will enjoy a luxurious stay over looking this amazing natural wonder. Next we will take the train once again to Tokyo, spending a few days in this amazing city. I am a person who loves history and hope to visit the Imperial Palace and some of the many Buddhist temples in the capital.

From Tokyo we fill fly to Chiang Mai Elephant Reserve in Thailand, possibly volunteering at this beautiful place. Finally we will fly to Phuket, a mountainous Island covered in rainforest in the Andaman Sea and relax on one of the beaches along the western coast.

Japan has long been on my bucket list and a destination I have always been drawn to. Its people and culture span thousands of years of history and I can't wait to experience a small part of it. Thailand is another country I have not visited yet, one of the few in the region. I have heard some fantastic reports from friends who have travelled here and I look forward to spending a week in this tropical paradise.

2020 looks like another exciting year for travel and with other journeys planned, I look forward to documenting my expedition when I return. Part of the appeal of 'Roaming Brit' is its connection to different parts of the globe. I receive many emails and messages from others thinking about vacationing in Asia or wanting to move to Spain, so for me, this is my favourite part of the job...Hoping on a plane and flying to pastures new!
