Travelling

I wanted to write on this blog again mostly to document my trip to Asia over summer.

Since I left school at the end of 2008 I have been able to travel overseas quite a few times. I love travelling so much and want to visit so many places. Many of my friends have been to exotic places on family holidays but what makes my trips far more special is the fact that I fund it all myself through hard work during the year. Not many other students work about 20 hours a week while studying medicine.

These are the overseas trips I have done since 2009.
January 2009 - 3 weeks in Thailand (with family)
June 2009 - 3 days in Christchurch, NZ for the Christchurch marathon with friends.
July 2009 - 2 weeks in India with friends
September 2009 - 10 days in Europe for the World Mountain Running Championships visiting Italy, London and Paris and back via Malaysia
June 2010 - Christchurch, NZ with my Dad for the Christchurch marathon
December 2010/January 2011 - 3 weeks in India, both with friends and with a group of medical students doing volunteer work and a few days in Singapore with a local friend on the way home
