I believe in "things will fall into their place" so coincidences are meant to be. You just don't know yet.
One day when I was hanging out with couchsurfers, my attention was drawn to the plan of two of them to go to Halong Bay. Little that I knew where that was. This is what I love about hanging out with them, you got to know new things, new places and new people. Vietnam, that's where Halong Bay is. I said to them I was interested in joining in.
So we tried to book the tickets on the spot through Airasia website, we planned to go via KL to Hanoi. The tickets were $90 return, that's the promotion ticket. Good news, I got that price. Bad news, the others didn't. Worse, later on they changed their mind about going.
I was kinda worried about have to go alone. But along with time and happenings, I become eager to start my solo trip. It is a bit risky to start with abroad trip to a country where not most of the locals speak English. But I am sure there are lots of couchsurfers and backpackers to support me :)
So right now I am super excited to prepare myself. This is my own adventure #1! Still need to get round tickets Balikpapan to KL tho, I am waiting for Airasia to lower down the price *crossing my fingers* or anyone wants to donate? Haha
Oh additional bad news, June, the picked date by my friends, is the monsoon season (what are the chances), a bad time to have a boat cruise to Halong Bay. Of course I didn't know this, right?!!
Anyway, that shouldn't stop me. There are alternatives and there is raincoat. Alternatively I will go to Sa Pa as my friend recommends, 8 hours away from Hanoi by train.
I'm excited about everything! Wish me luck! June is still months, I know :P
