Travel the world

I have just returned from a family holiday in Phuket, Thailand. What an amazing country, one that has had it’s most recent troubles highlighted through plenty of media interest. Fortunately having been there before we were confident our family would not be in any danger with no plans to stay  in the troubled city. Sometimes it is hard to truly appreciate just how good our country is until you leave it. Our freedom,safety and right to express ourselves is something often taken for granted, so too are our beautiful surrounds. To call Australia home is a privilege and every time I leave I am reminded of how amazing it is to live here. 

Though I would dare not say that Thailand is any less amazing, with some beautiful beaches, awesome shopping and some of the most amazing food you will ever taste all at the ready for the world to experience and such a liberated way of life it. I will never forget the feeling of absolute fun of dinking my daughters on a little scooter, they were so relaxed and loving every minute of it. It took next to no effort to get them to jump on with me after seeing local families of 4 & 5 people riding past. The road rules in Thailand were nothing like our formulated structure we have here, there were bikes and cars going the wrong way in one way streets, all moving at variety of speed, on some roads you would be on the left hand side and turn a corner and then you are to travel on the right hand side. The thing I like the most about it was that it worked, it all seem to just work. People gave way when they had too and the place just flowed. I loved it and we loved being apart of it for a couple of weeks.

Other highlights included seeing so many beautiful animals, the day we rode an elephant and handled an eagle was awesome. Though I think I will just stick to my pets that I have at home. I am far more  comfortable with my dogs, my fish and my budgie.

I truly do believe the loving nature of the people, particularly the ones we met is the thing that creates that warm feeling inside when I think back to our 1st overseas venture as a family.

One thing’s for sure the more you see of the world the more respect you gain for all those around you. We live in exciting times, get out there and enjoy what’s on offer and seek out the places that you are most welcome. Some countries relay on tourist for survival and will make every effort to ensure your stay is a good one. Ours sure was.

Keep traveling

Cheers
