Adventure #236

Clockwise from top left: A quick but beautiful hike up from a family
cabin in Colorado, USA. / Chasing waterfalls in Iceland. / Stayed the
night up by this swing bridge in Austria, first day was all rocky, next
day was covered in snow.
I then headed back to Brazil for another competition. I
always moan about flying all the way to Brazil, but once
I’m there, I do enjoy it, it’s one of those countries that have
seemed to slowly grow on me over the years.
A new contest then came up in Taiwan. I had never been
before, this year felt like it was my year to go to as many
new countries as possible, so the decision to fly straight
there from Brazil was pretty easy, even though it took 50+
hours. I didn’t really know what to expect there, but I was
very impressed. The water and weather were very tropical,
the waves were very consistent and fun, oh and how good
was the food! I think it could be my new destination instead
of Bali. A lot of similarities but a lot fewer people in the water
when surfing.
Last but not least, to finish the six months of travel, Hawaii.
I was meant to have my last competition there but with
the horrible exchange rate USD to NZD and the high
accommodation rates there, it just wasn’t feasible to stay for
so long. However, we did still manage to fit in a few days on
Kauai island, an island I hadn’t been to before. It was small
to drive around with huge Jurassic park-like scenery but I
think I still prefer either Maui or Oahu. It was nice to finish
the six months of travel in somewhere that was tropical and
actually felt like a holiday and slightly closer to home, which
we were nearly ready for.
