Time flies when you are young. Time flies when you are having fun. Time flies when you have great company. Time waits for no man. Time. I wish I could turn back the time.
I was going through my photographs as I made one last video. Lots of memories came flooding back. I wish there were some mechanisms that would allow me to capture more moments, maybe by blinking my eyes or by snapping my fingers. But both would not have worked because I would not have blinked my eyes, fearing that I would miss a beat and I would probably get severe cramps by snapping my fingers too often.
Did I regret going on this trip? No. Definitely NO REGRETS.

Would I have done it differently? Yes and no. I would have loved to have done the safari leg with my mum but she never came and would have loved to go to the Grand Canyon or snowboarding with a friend who promised to show me around but it never materialised. Now that I have been to all 7 continents within 1 year, if I do have another go again, I would probably travel the whole duration in 1 continent or 1 country.
Would I revisit any of the destinations I have been? I will gladly visit all of them again. However, given that there is so little time and money and so many more places to go, I am unlikely to revisit any of these places any time soon.
Next to where I live now was a hotel built in 1892 which got turned into part of the oldest hospital in Australia and then a backpackers hostel. Every day, the backpackers, with their heavy backpacks and all, remind me how it was like and how I wish that I were still one of them. Where would I go next? I am not sure. I hope to visit the ski fields in Melbourne or the desert in Uluṟu next. Eventually, I would like to reach the North Pole.
To everyone whom I met along the way - Thank You for making this journey an unforgettable one. It would not be the same without You.
