Awesome!! How in the world did you keep track?! LOL.
Hey, will you be in Bali at all? I leave next week and will be there for 12 days! Would be awesome to meet you if you’re there at the same time!
Gorgeous photo!!
I found your blog recently and love it! It makes me excited for my next adventure. I lived in India for a while, so I was happy to hear you liked it so much..despite the dirty hands and tuk-tuk accident 😉
Looks like you had an amazing time! Great picture!! 🙂
awesome post! i second Oneika – how the heck did you keep track of it all?!?!?!?!?
Wonderful post, wonderful blog. You take such beautiful pictures. Keep trekking around the world. I’ll live vicariously through you until I can save up enough to pack up my suitcase again. 🙂
xo,
your newest follower
That’s a lot of work keeping track of everything.
Well done!
Thank you so much, everyone! Some of these were very rough estimates, haha…but I gave it my best shot!
Oneika – I won’t be in Bali until July…shame we can’t see each other! We’re going to meet up in Toronto at some point, though, right?
Jessie – Wow, to live in India…what an experience! I’d love to read/see more about your time there…
Hannah – Thank you for following! I hope you can get on the road again very soon…xo
darn it! Well, we’ll definitely cross paths somewhere… I’m in Singapore April 29 to May 2, then Kuala Lumpur June 3 to 6. At the worst, I’ll be in Toronto in August so we must meet then! 🙂
28 pairs of earrings! lol!
That was a low estimate…I’m sure the real number was even higher!!
