So what travel and trips do you have coming up for 2024?
I have just booked my there and back trips around the orient for mid-May to late June.
38 days of food, madness and architecture. I'm super excited.

I'm leaving my job early for this before I start teacher training, as it is the only chance I have to do such a long trip. I'm viewing it as a reward after 6 years teaching in Spain, so it's like a pat on the back for myself. I've been to India before, but only to Bombay and Matheran so this will be such an epic trip. Originally instead of China I had wanted to do Burma (former British Raj too) but the situation there is unstable and the border with Bangladesh is now closed, so China was the good alternative.
How about you? Anything planned or in the works?
