Cheers mate that's really helpful, I hope your journey is progressing well too.

I am having a good time on travels as priority, I can honestly say solo backpacking is incredible I'm surprised more people don't do it especially on here (maybe they do? it gets you out of comfort, you meet amazing people and become a lot more centred in general.

Last night I went out with vietnam hostels bar crawl, saw cute girl with tats, turns out she's a singer in rock band. I approach and turn on 'creepy mode' as an experience, chatting while a bit of back rub, say tats look hot on her while squeeze arm. She squeezes back, eventually end up snogging after we share shisha and I say let's form smoke tunnel with hands between us, then do one just lips no tunnel then no smoke ha
