One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love my America trip and it's one of the best time I had in my life. As well lot of drunken moment! Like my Wallet / Iphone got Stolen! and I drop a pizza on a floor when I was holding it for 5 mins...

There are just too many good moment!

I love New Zealand! Done so many things such as Skydiving, water white and black water rafting, budgy jump etc.

2013...
This year I been to Ayia Napa with the lads as a drinking holiday and it's didn't end very well! haha.

Then went to Spain with my two good mates and stayed in a countryside villa which was really lovely and love the Spanish foods. Spanish sure do love to drink!
Not just Spain... I also went to Poland in September... Polish also love to drink! I went to Zielona Gora and stayed at my Polish friend flat. I was impress with Polish foods as is it so fresh and tasty! Did go to Poznan but didn't have time to check out the city which was a shame. Planning to go back to Poland as I made some friends Zielona Gora and Warsaw.

I'm just laid back person who like to have a good time and just enjoy life! :)

Now I'm hoping to plan 2014 Europe trip by car with friends, if you thinking of doing that too? Let me know, we might become really good buddy! :D

2014...

So far I been to Turkey - Fethiye Ölüdeniz which was a lovely place as been to Fethiye 3 times now... but never been to Blue Lagoon beach was so lovely! Everything is just so cheap! Please do be aware to pay visa upfront, for British, is £20 pound as I use Turk money to exchange it!

Also done a road trip around Ireland and to beautiful Cornwall! :D
