|  | In 2002, I resigned from my job and embarked on a 1 year Round-the-World trip.
Full of apprehension on whether I could really do this trip (I figured I might just travel for 6 months instead of a year), I began my journey in China.
I meandered through the interior of China, through Yunnan province, did a horse-trek around the Songpan mountains, sampled Tibetan cultures in Langmusi and Xiahe, scaled sand dunes in Dunhuang, stuffed my face with mutton kebabs in Muslim Kashgar and experienced the grandeur of Beijing.
After 2 months of fascinating minority races and astounding natural and man-made sights, soaking in the history and myriad cultures of China, I was hooked on travelling! I decided that, by hook or by crook, I was going to stretch this trip to last 1 whole year.

It's great to be a little unnerved by new countries, new experiences, new currencies, new languages, new food, new ways of doing the same things... I love it.
After plucking up the courage to resign from my job, from Singapore, I made my first hop to China, then north across to Mongolia and took the train through Russia. I then journeyed to Western Europe to meet up with some friends.
I flew across the Atlantic to Brazil next, before overlanding to Argentina and wandered up the length of Argentina and Chile up to Peru, being turning back to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I headed to Mexico and made an unexpected stop in Cuba, then, I crossed the other large ocean mass, the Pacific, from Los Angeles in USA to the beautiful French Polynesian Islands. Then, it's off to HOME...
Gosh, had it been a year already!?!!
