Every wonder how one can travel to more countries?

When one gets older, you slowly realise it is definitely harder to find someone to travel with you, especially someone who fits your travel style. Most importantly, your travel timing.

I remember I discovered "solo travelling" or you could say "solo visiting" while I was travelling in London with my sister. Was my third time there, and her first. She wanted to try out the hop-on hop- off tour. However, I have been to most of the touristy place in London. My understanding sister told me is okay that she is going to visit alone.

Thus, I went visiting Stamford Bridge Stadium alone.It was quite a long journey from the centre of London to Fulham. I pick up my go pro and vamos! I met some the blues fans from different countries, and went to an amazing Brazilian restaurant name Cafe Brazil. It was quite empty , even the Stadium. I was probably the only solo one there. The owners are two lovely couple, we had a good chat, and they ask where am I from.

After chatting for a bit with them, they left me alone to enjoy my lunch. I KID YOU NOT! The news was reporting about the missing MH370, and was there a political propaganda.

[crazy furniture we got right here, the architect used hair to build this set of furniture!!!]

After my lunch, I went walking around near Stamford bridge, then I travel back to the centre of London. I visited Victoria and Albert Museum in hope to catch a glimpse of the close exhibition for Alexander McQueen : Savage Beauty. Unfortunately, the close exhibition has no more availability. I proceed spending hours of time visiting the museum. Honestly, that was my first time visiting a museum with ease and I enjoy every bits of my alone time.

Have anyone of you ever experienced visiting a place without ease, and constantly felt the pressure of others waiting for you?

That's me when I visit the museum.

Museum is one of the places I enjoy visiting. I believe at the end of the day, history made us today, our action today will make history. It is an obvious cycle. The more one understand about history, the more prepared we are to face the future. * deep talk 101 :D

Basically, ever since that day. I realise the perks of solo traveling.
