I left Arizona on January 12 – April 7th, 2025, and headed to Vietnam. I visited Cambodia, Thailand, London (twice), Singapore, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, and Spain in that order.
Eight of the ten are new pins on the map, making it so awesome! 📍🌍
I spent the first three months in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Then, with my all-you-can-fly pass, I whizzed (Wizz Air) through London, Singapore, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, and Spain.
Let me see if I can recall the flights, ferries, bus, and train rides in order:

Here is some of the fun along the way and a good laugh after traveling three months … LOL
This trip was by far the longest and most expensive trip of my life. I blew through my budget, but decided to keep on going since I was already there. I ended up cancelling my Europass train ticket and coming home three weeks early.
At the time, I did not think I would use my all you can fly pass so visited as many countries as possible. I did miss a few countries so there is a good chance that I try to go one more time as I am not renewing the pass.
Zero regrets blowing money on travel at the end of every trip. I just need to be smarter and learn from my mistakes.
