Here's a travel story I wrote up a year ago. It has pictures too!

Umm...lets see what else. Just from the trip above:
- Clubbing in Moscow with a bunch of random Russians (girls and guys) my hostel mate picked up via Tinder

- Met a guy at a Moscow hostel and grabbed some food together . No even 2 weeks later, met the same guy in Beijing at a hostel and got to talking. We talked for about 30 minutes before we finally realized we had already met.

- Getting locked out of my Train compartment after drinking too late with others in a different car. Had to sleep in a spare bunk with no bedding for my first night. Learned the hard way to get back to my bed by 11pm.

Others:
- Clubbing in Amsterdam with a bunch of crazy German guys we just met. Told to shut up by some Dutch guy because we were being "too loud".

- Met another couple from Vancouver while in Halong Bay Vietnam. Proceeded to run into them again and again in Hoi An, Nha Trang, and Saigon.

- Got into a traffic accident in Indonesia while riding a rickshaw. GF sprained her shoulder and when a doctor came by and without examining her at all he wanted to inject her with some kind of muscle relaxant. Uhh...right..no thanks we'll take our chances.

- Sleeping in the Rajasthan Desert in India out in the open. What I thought sounded like ice crystals forming was actually a huge dung beetle trying to crawl up my ear

- Getting left behind by a bus while taking a long bathroom break in Turkey. GF FREAKED out (as anyone would) and had to beg the driver to turn back. Station police were called and I was running around like a mad man trying to find the bus.

- Getting Interrogated for 2 hours by Israeli border staff for having Malaysian ancestors. Durr..but they're Chinese dum dum!

- Trekked up to Machu Picchu for 4 days. Got back to my hostel and took the biggest shit of my life ever.
