As soon as I finished my undergraduate double degree, my number one priority was to travel and to see India and Western Europe. It took me a little time to save some funds, but I had a great opportunity to temporarily transfer to London with the technology company I was with – it was the perfect launching pad to kick starting my backpacking career.

Highlights

• Living and working in London (Wimbledon) for 9 months – many weekend trips around the countryside to various historical sites.
• One month in Snowdonia, Wales – at a Yoga Center (Dru Yoga) was a special time, meeting people from around the world who came to Wales to study Yoga.
• Week long trips to Scotland, Spain, and the Netherlands.
• 3 week Top Deck tour around Western Europe – only skimming the surface but a great way to get a tiny taste of some of Europe’s great Cities, including Rome, Paris, Monaco, Amsterdam, etc.
