when she wrote about the what-if’s on bus breaking down, etc. my mind went back to an unrelated story that happened to me in the Philippines over 3 years ago, when we got off at the wrong rural bus stop while looking for an orphanage we were going to visit in Pampanga.
a slightly elderly gentleman that also got off there, unbeknownst to us, was contemplating our predicament & how some people were starting to want to take advantage of our lack of direction.
he hired a public transport going his way but with enough room for us, & turns out he worked for the local mayor in that area of Pampanga.
when we got to their city hall, he had us meet the mayor & pose for pictures (no doubt to be used later for promotional purposes of americans ‘validating’ his administration.
anyhow, he finally arranged for their own police to take us in an official car to the orphanage we were looking for, always praising the Lord for His protection through this experience.
God bless!

Wow, amazing story. Wish I had a best friend as incredible, courageous, independent, strong and wonderful as Trish….oh, I do. I am honoured to count Trish as my best friend. I have missed her terribly but thanks to the wonders of technology and her wise choices to pick hostels with WiFi) we have been able to be in contact as much as suits her travel plans. Great interview babe, you are mine, and now a whole load of other would-be travels inspiration!!

Hey Trish! I wished I were as courageous as you – I envy you a lot for having the guts to just quit and leave everything behind! And I am very happy to have met you and travelled with you around Laos. You and the rest of the Stray group made my short trip to SE Asia truely memorable. If you ever come to Cologne, there will always be a couch here waiting for you 😉

Hi
I’m an old friend of Trish’s and I was nervous and excited for her when she first told me her plans. But now I’m just jealous! It sounds like she’s having an amazing experience whilst I’m still in chilly London! Very inspiring Trish – I can’t wait to hear more of your adventures.
Now where’s my passport…
Take care xx

Great! Since I read these series of stories I feel like I would go to travel right now! Guys, what is your advise for me?! I am an English teacher in a country where monthly wages for teachers is 200 euro, I dont pay rent, only accomodation. I am preparing to get TEFL and hope to go teaching in China.

But I really dont know from where to save money…even for my fly ticket. TEFL costs 1200 euro, I take lessons of chinese…..and I don’t remain with anything….I would like to go in a tour world trip, but it takes me years….and years…..just to save money for ticket and for the beginning of staying somewhere abroad.
