Mengembara untuk Belajar Erti Hidup

Bermula dengan kemahuan untuk mengajar anak-anak erti hidup luar dari kepompong, kami mulakan perjalanan ground travel kami pada hujung tahun 2015. Hanya dari KL ke Hadyai (HDY), menaiki keretapi ke Bangkok (BKK) dan seterusnya ke Vientianne (VTN), Laos.

Perjalanan KL ke HDY menaiki bas. Terus terang saya katakan yang saya memang tak berapa gemar naik bas sebab they drive like mad and you have no idea betapa hati ni tak tenang berzikir sokmo sampai la terlelap... bangun-bangun ja tengok luar... bila tak sampai lagi tu mula la risau sampai ke idak ke destinasi.

But that is besides the point.

Little that we know, the travels despite the heavy bags, the lack of sleep and the lack of halal food, the kids look forward to every end of the year. Becoz after the first trip, we realized that we bond a lot more than when we were home.

And we began to look forward to the 16 hours HDY-BKK and BKK-HDY rides. 

Now, dah tiga tahun berturut-turut kami ber-backpack ground travel. Our group consisting of mak (financier bab makan-makan), bapak (financier bab accomodation dan transport), anak-anak 3 orang berumur 19, 13, dan 4 respectively (correct as end of 2017).

And different routes every time.

My hope with this blog is to share with you tips and experiences that we found out first hand, and I truly hope that you benefit from our achievements (and failures). 

Do share with me your experiences too!

So to kick off, my next post will cover our journey covering 3 countries - Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and back, which we did in December 2017.

Soon I will share our journey of Thailand to Cambodia, which we did in 2016; and Thailand to Laos which was our very first ground travel in 2015.

Till I see you again!
