Solo Traveling
APRIL 3 - 14, 2018
After a busy two weeks with my parents I decided to take a mini vacay to Myanmar. My first stop was Yangon where I was able to catch up on some sleep and enjoy some quality time with my cousins. Then I hopped on the night bus and traveled (first time solo traveling!!) to Bagan to chase some sunsets. Following a busy tour of Bagan I boarded another night bus and ventured onward to Inle Lake where I spent a couple days boating, biking, and buying lots of souvenirs.
I finished off my travels celebrating the BEST HOLIDAY EVER, Thingyan!! Thingyan is the Myanmar New Years Festival. During this festival a giant water fight takes place throughout the country for a period of five days. The throwing of water symbolizes washing away your sins so that you are clean for the new year..and it's also too much of fun.
I'm so grateful I got to spend some much needed "me time" exploring this crazy amazing place!
