Okay so I actually arrived home rather a long time ago now but wanted to just post a final entry to mark the end of my trip (albeit slightly late).\u00a0 I wanted to thank everyone (well almost everyone -I’m sure people noted the exceptions) who I met on my travels and who enhanced the whole experience.\u00a0 Many thanks also to friends, family and other well-wishers along the way.\u00a0 It really was important to me to feel that England and the people I love still existed when, at times, I felt like I was a million miles away.<\/p>\n
Finally, if anyone is thinking about taking a similar, or dissimilar, trip my advice would be do it.\u00a0 It really was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and one which I will never regret and always remember fondly.<\/p>\n
Okay, this is starting to sound a little like an Oscar speech and I, for one, am now feeling slightly nauseous so I think I’ll draw things to a close.\u00a0 I’m going to make this just slightly more pretentious and finish with one of my favourtie quotations from my travels from the ever amazing source of an Asian guy’s t-shirt:<\/p>\n
