Here’s how much we spent for our last days in Penang

We were planning to stay in Penang until the end of our 3-month visa in Malaysia, which was November 7th. But an opportunity to work for 2 months in Myanmar showed up on October 6th while I was promoting our Marketing class for October 14th.

It all happened super fast!

As I’m writing this (October 17th), I’m here in Ngapali 🙂

Here’s the first sunset of our new adventure:

If it’s your first time reading one of my blog post, here’s a quick heads up:

My boyfriend Davidson and I left Paris on June 15th for a 6-month trip in Asia. We had enough savings until September. So yeah, it’s risky but we took the leap anyway.

So far, we’re not bankrupt yet!
