[singlepic=849,150,,,right]Part of the anxieties people face before traveling is the feeling that you are not prepared enough. But being unprepared may actually help to make the experience much better. I found this the case when I traveled to Nepal in 2001.
For years I wanted to travel to Vietnam and Cambodia – two places that I was fascinated with since high school. So I decided that in the year 2000, I would spend 3 months traveling through those countries. Then my great friend and traveling partner, Holly, said “Wait! If you go in 2001, I’ll go with you, but I also want to go to Nepal.” It’s hard to find such a great traveling companion, so I immediately said “sure!”
So for the next year or so, we planned our travels. My focus was purely on Vietnam & Cambodia, so we decided I would start there, and then we would meet up later in Nepal, continuing our journeys together to Thailand and then back to Australia, where we visited together in 1995.
