Slide 1 - Slide

I have dreamed of travelling around the world since I was a child. Last year I decided to quit my job and travel around Asia. I flew to India six weeks ago, and stayed there for a month. I am now in Thailand. I have been here for just two weeks and I have seen so much already. Last night I  had a seafood curry at a restaurant on the beach. It was one of the spiciest meals I
have ever eaten. I haven’t visited the islands yet, but I plan to soon.
