Hellooo, I am back!! I've been having a great time but haven’t been keeping up with blog so going to do some updates now.
I left Animal Army on Sunday😢 I honestly can’t get over how quickly it went and it was sad saying bye to the other volunteers, the full-time staff and the dogs. I will definitely return in the future and maybe even come home with a dog that time🐶. I would highly recommend volunteering there if you are interested and you can apply through Workaway / Worldpackers. It says on their website that you have to pay but it doesn’t cost anything anymore. Also, please donate if you are able. They rely heavily on donations and I could really tell the difference that even a small amount made. I’ll leave a link to their website and facebook here -

After leaving Animal Army, I took a bus to Bangkok from Pattaya (that is one place I definitely won’t be rushing back to!). There was a girl on the bus from Lithuania who was wearing the exact same shoes and rucksack as me - we got chatting and then shared a taxi from the bus station to our hostels together😊
I spent one night in Bangkok and just chilled, did some planning, and sorted a couple more Workaways! The following day, I went to ‘The Artist House Bangkok’ and made a beaded bracelet while watching the fish and long boats drive past - very peaceful😌 Then ate the best noodle soup ever! It was the only thing on the menu so I knew it was going to be good, and only 60baht so even better😍
That evening, I caught the sleeper train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai - such a cool experience!! About an hour into the journey, they came and changed the seat into a bed and then I got comfy and slept like a baby💤 I watched the sunrise and then we arrived in Chiang Mai at about 7am - my brain couldn’t really comprehend that we had travelled cross country and I had slept the whole way haha
I will write another blog post about my experience in Chiang Mai so far! Absolutely loving it.
Please leave a comment if you’re reading this - I have no idea if people are seeing these or not, but am enjoying writing them either way☺️

Just read your blog! Sounds amazing, reminds me old days… also just read the same book, great characters.

This all sounds a huge plus for the modern world and connectivity. Though still takes a daily burst of courage to dive into the next unknown, I'm very sure. You're doing the family proud.
