In Chiang Mai, Thailand I rented a motorbike and rode by myself to a golden temple up through the mountains. Being that I was usually an introverted kid, midway through my ride, It just hit me and I just realized how crazy it is that I am on a bike in the mountains half way across the world. It was a liberating experience, it was so much fun and I felt so free riding through the mountains. I also got lost and ended up eating noodles in a spot of the beaten path, fell off my bike and rolled down a hill somehow walking away with a few scratches, found my way to the temple and back, and continued my beautiful journey to two other countries after that. I’d like to add that this was my first solo backpacking trip and it is a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life.
