My Travelling Goals before 30 years old

I started exploring beyond Singapore when I was 15 years old. It started with a trip to Perth, Australia with my secondary school. The postcard worthy sceneries spark my interest to explore the world.

In 2010, after leaving SMU, I went on a road trip with a friend to North Island, New Zealand for 15 days. We moved around NZ in a campervan, travelling more than 3000km. I found new definition to travelling. It is not just about the beautiful sceneries. Neither it is about the exotic food you find along the streets. Travelling is about the connection with the locals and experiencing the culture.

Over the last eight years, I have been to many Asian countries. The experiences have been rewarding thus far. I am not going to just stop here. I have a list of places that I would like to visit before I turn 30 years old.

1) One month tour around Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic and Denmark
Travelling around Europe is easily any traveller's dream. These four countries have rich history and castles that are of hundreds years old. One month would be perfect, given the amount of holidays I have. It won't be too short to explore each country. Amount the four countries, The Bone Church at Prague, Czech Republic would be the most anticipated attraction to visit.

2) Two weeks tour around Seoul, Korea
Korea has always been famous for their cosmetic products that are dirt cheap. Korea has definitely more than just that. During spring, the blooming flowers turn the gardens and parks into romantic walk ways. A walk around Jeju Island would bring you to the heaven.

3) Cycle from Tibet to Nepal.
Nepal is located near Mount Everest while half of Mount Everest  is part of Tibet. Being a city girl, it is always blissful to be surrounded by mountains. Many people have travelled by four wheels to the base of Mount Everest. It will be very cool to travel to the base of Mount Everest with only two wheels. After leaving Tibet, immerse oneself with simple lifestyle at Nepal. Do a hike up at one of the many mountains in Nepal.
