Description: A memoir of journeys made
Myanmar may still be under the radar for most tourist but I’ve been wanting to visit for as long as I can remember. I can’t tell you exactly how this destination stumbled its way on my list. I just knew for a fact that I’d rather visit sooner than later. When the chance to do so this winter came, me and my travel buddy just can’t let our chance pass us by!
We had 7 nights – admittedly short – for Myanmar. Better known to others as Burma – its name was changed in 1989 by the then military junta. We had to plan it carefully: avoid beaten tracks, if possible. Avoid backtracking. Preferably, go someplace unpopular yet beautiful.
