The tingling odor of barbecued noodles floating through the marketplace air; local vendors smile together with greeting us on every street corner; fresh coconuts beingness poured into plastic bags; stray dogs lounging on the footpath nether a midday sun; kaleidoscope tuk-tuks merging through traffic alongside the cacophony of horns ringing out over a busy intersection – Ahh, we’re back inwards Bangkok.
It feels foreign to live dorsum inwards the the world that kicked off our adventure, over 2 years ago. We didn’t retrieve nosotros would detect ourselves hither i time again for many to a greater extent than years, together with the argue we’ve returned isn’t precisely what nosotros had inwards mind. But nosotros couldn’t live happier.
It was a crazy 2 years leading upwardly to this point: Traversing Asia, from Phuket to Istanbul, without taking a unmarried flight. It started with a uncomplicated thought with no laid itinerary together with ended upwardly with us riding 15’000km on 2 crappy motorbikes inwards Southeast Asia, zig-zagging across China, hitchhiking around Tibet together with Mongolia, overlanding with Dragoman inwards Central Asia together with stowing away on a cargo ship inwards the Caspian Sea.
We’re absolutely thrilled that nosotros had the hazard to experience together with hence many amazing things. But every bit whatever long-term traveller volition show it was also stressful, together with past times the fourth dimension nosotros got to Istanbul nosotros were exhausted.
Through a combination of fatigue, pathetic diet together with stress, our wellness seriously took a hit. We started to experience sick, position on a lot of weight together with began bickering with each other. Not an ideal province of affairs inwards whatever circumstance – fifty-fifty less together with hence when yous are isolated from friends together with family.
Alesha together with I decided nosotros needed to produce got a interruption from the adventure travel that nosotros love, or aspect upwardly the hazard of completely burning out, or worst, going our dissever ways.
We start talked close how nosotros felt inwards our “Behind The Scenes” article and were completely shocked when it went viral. Within a affair of days, our floor was plastered all over the Internet, together with nosotros were fifty-fifty interviewed on Australian breakfast TV. Our inbox flooded with letters of back upwardly together with good wishes from hundreds of people, together with nosotros were genuinely humbled.
But nosotros don’t retrieve we’re extraordinary for having these issues, or martyrs for talking close them. Many couples endure the same things when they move – it’s completely normal together with nothing to live ashamed about.
After the craziness died down, nosotros talked close our adjacent steps. Would nosotros proceed to striking the route together with come across how far nosotros could force ourselves, or would nosotros pace dorsum together with endeavour to produce our problems? We started reminiscing close how amazing nosotros felt when nosotros were travelling around Southeast Asia together with Central America, together with decided that nosotros needed “a vacation from our holiday”. Before nosotros knew it, nosotros had flights booked to Bangkok.
Before nosotros announced what nosotros were going to live doing, a identify unit of measurement emergency meant that nosotros had to furnish to Australia. From Bangkok nosotros headed direct to Sydney and started a whirlwind two-month trip where nosotros caught upwardly with every bit many friends together with identify unit of measurement every bit possible, spell trying to come across a flake of the country.
Soon our deviation engagement to Thailand was upon us, together with it was fourth dimension to bid adieu to our abode the world i time again. Jumping on some other flying from Perth (more flights inwards 2 months than nosotros had taken inwards 2 years), nosotros finally landed dorsum inwards Bangkok, ready to saltation headfirst into our novel campaign.
People produce got been bespeak us what our plans are, why nosotros are inwards Thailand, together with if we’ve given upwardly on our overland adventure. To brand things clear, nosotros produce got every intention of eventually flying dorsum to Istanbul together with picking upwardly our mission to accomplish Cape Town past times land. Just non direct away.
We are definitely non done with travelling, together with nosotros are notwithstanding dreaming close all the amazing adventures we’ll live taking over the adjacent few years. But for now, nosotros produce got something else planned….
So What Exactly Are We Doing In Thailand?
Simple – Looking afterwards ourselves.
Over the adjacent 2 months, nosotros volition live relaxing, eating well, exercising together with meditating around the southern islands of this beautiful nation. We’ll live committing to a healthier lifestyle, together with documenting our experiences every bit nosotros go.
Thailand is known for its white-sand beaches, fascinating culture, ancient temples together with welcoming locals. Besides these things (which originally made us autumn inwards honey with the Southeast Asian the world inwards the start place), Thailand also has delicious, salubrious food, an abundance of spa together with detox retreats together with a Buddhist civilization that promotes mindfulness.
In our minds, it is i of the best places inwards the Earth to kick-start a salubrious lifestyle, together with nosotros are going to endeavour together with prove it!
We’ll live trying an entire gain of salubrious living options during our fourth dimension here. There volition live detox retreats, yoga sanctuaries, Muay Thai gyms, scuba diving, meditation, massages, hiking, swimming, climbing, together with of course of written report a whole bunch of swinging inwards hammocks past times the beach. That’s right, tonnes of fourth dimension spent past times the beach! Sounds similar a dream!
But there’s something else we’ve done. If you’ve always met us inwards person, yous know how much nosotros honey a drinking glass of vino together with a beer. One of the biggest things for us is that nosotros produce got quit alcohol, together with conception on staying off it during our whole fourth dimension inwards Thailand. Might non audio similar much, but to us it’s a huge deal!
This is completely dissimilar to anything we’ve always done before, together with nosotros can’t hold off to refresh ourselves. We’ve already started the detox, past times only eating raw fruit together with vegetables since nosotros arrived inwards Thailand on Apr 15th. It’s been tough for us (especially with all the groovy street nutrient everywhere), but already we’re starting to experience a difference inwards our bodies.
And only the uncomplicated cognition that we’re dorsum inwards a the world nosotros know together with love, non beingness inwards a rush to teach anywhere together with non stressing close visas/transport/finding accommodation/drunk Mongolian men breaking into our tent inwards the middle of the nighttime has meant we’ve started to appreciate each other again.
Is Thailand going to live the ultimate identify for a wellness detox? Will nosotros come upwardly out the other side feeling younger, fitter, together with ready to tackle the Earth again?
