Jamie and Laura return from travelling
STA Explorer Laura has posted on her and boyfriend Jamie’s return from travelling.
Yes, for Jamie and Laura the adventure has come to an end and they’re back in London,
“Was a strange feeling, we were happy to finally be going home as we had had enough of the whole backpacking lifestyle (night buses, squat toilets, packing and repacking the backpack every other day), but at the same time I didn’t want the trip to end. I’d planned it for so long, it’s hard to believe that it’s all over now

Very sad to be spending my days writing covering letter and applying for a million jobs (mostly unpaid!) rather than going to beautiful beaches, wandering round crumbling temples or enjoying a few glasses of goon with dorm friends. The post-backpacking blues have well and truly arrived!”
Their final days in Thailand were spent in Mae Nam and this being the end of the trip the funds were running low, which meant the majority of these days were spent on the beach. There was time for a BBQ before departing, that Laura reckons was the most her or indeed Jamie had eaten in quite a while. The meal was also accompanied by a glass of wine, the first since Australia.
Laura finishes her post offering her advice to anyone who’s thinking of doing a similar trip, so if you are, don’t be shy. Just get in touch. For now though Jamie and Laura’s Great Adventure blog will most likely be dormant, that is until the next travelling adventure begins. But for now, on this particular journey, the sun has set…
