Day 100
Today is the 100th day since I started my "Up We Go" trip back in December! YAY!!
Unfortunately the weather in Jeju isn't ideal for a day trip so I'm celebrating it indoors~ BOO!!
These 100 days have been incredibly special to me. Even now, I honestly can't believe I'm standing or sitting where I am. What would I be doing right now in a parallel universe where marilyn hadn't made the decision to quit her job and travel?
It's been a blessing that the people I've encountered on this trip have been so incredibly kind and generous with their hospitality and affections. Sometimes I can't imagine how it would have been if our paths never crossed.

Also thank you to YOU reading this now, my family, friends, strangers, whoever you are, thanks for bothering to read and being interested in my travels.
Many of you messaged me asking about my trip and always end off with "maybe I should do it too". And my reply is always "yeah! go do it!"
It's easy for me to say cause I'm already halfway through it, but if you think this is something you'll regret, and there are no other priorities in your life right now, what's holding you back?
To be honest I'm quite worried about the end of this trip. Time flew by so fast that suddenly 100-days feel so fleeting. But in these 100 days, I've learnt so much about life skills, communication, nature, myself and bonded with so many people from different backgrounds. #NORAGRATS
Not sure how many days it'll be until the end of this trip (solleh lazy do math :p), but I hope 100 days from now I am happy, refreshed and motivated :)
HAPPY 100TH DAY!!
loves,
marilyn
