After working out my plans for a sole Balkans trip in March 2024 one of my nieces (Darby) reached out an asked if she could join me on a trip to this region. As I’m already planning on taking another niece (Erin) for a trip to Ecuador in December 2024 so in fairness I had to say yes.
Plus always a major bonus travelling with a young and excited traveller who can really bring a lot of energy and different insights

Nothing gets you more focused on your next trip after returning from an overseas trip then experiencing a freezing cold winter.
While I have a trip planned to Ecuador with my neice Erin in December 2024 after she finishes High School that seemed too long and I still have some leave saved up from the multiple pandemic lockdowns in Melbourne.

While it will be to new places this trip will mirror the type of adventure I experienced to Erin’s older brother when he finished High School in 2009 and we visited USA, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, New Zealand (see here). A chance to see and experience a new culture and region as an adult.

Highlights: Business Class Flight Home, Reuniting with my pets
The final stage of this trip was my last flight home from Kuala Lumper to Melbourne on Malaysian Airlines in Business Class. This was my first long haul flight on Malaysian Airlines and I was very happy with the experience, a good use of award points (see review here).
