So many man.
Vietnam was probably the best place I've been to. Loved Malaysia and Singapore too.
In the US, San Francisco, Austin and New Orleans were amazing. Yosemite National Park and the Grand Canyon are two of the most amazing things I've seen in my life.
Went to New Orleans Saints vs Cleveland Browns when I was in New Orleans and it was fucking class. Never had any interest in the sport before but I was high fiving yanks at the end and that. We got lucky cos it went nuts at the end and New Orleans won it at the death.
Finished the trip in New York which was a cool place but if that's meant to be the jewel in the crown of Western civilisation then fuck me
Some of the natural wonders in North America, especially in and around the 'Four Corners' are truly amazing; they're unique experiences that blow most cities away, imo. Don't get me wrong, I love a big city, the hustle and bustle, the people-watching but as you age they seem to become one and the same, wee gems aside. [Although this may be more down to the present epoch where every one has instant access so you feel you've seen/done that before.]
Walking down into this bowl for instance, I can say nope, never done that anywhere else, not even close. Saying that, peering out the window of the crown up the SoL isn't half unique too. Could just be timing, actually I believe it is, in essence.
Must be difficult to reflect after such a trip, having seen so much variety.

Will just make you want to get out there again.
Went to Monument Valley and slept under the stars which was absolutely
Feels good to be back in Scotland though. Obviously not being back to work or the crippling fear, dread and melancholy that haunts every moment of my waking life but the rest of it
It's shite that these things come to an end but these experiences like travelling make us the people we are in day to day life. You might've left travelling but that won't have left you mate
