One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

About three years ago we tried to go with my friend all the way from Finland to Australia without flying. Our plan was get there in 4-5 months and then to find jobs and stay there for a year or so. It was a good plan but it took half a year to travel through Russia, Central Asia and China to Southeast Asia. Then my friend flew back to Finland and I found accidentally a good job in Myanmar so I stayed there for some time. So we faild to reach Australia that time but what a great journey we had! Few years later we both found our way to Down Under but this time we took the easy way and flew there.
