12 Hours in Kuala Lumpur

Occasionally plans are made, wheels are set in motion and plane tickets are purchased that later make you stop and wonder ‘what the hell were we thinking?’.

                              “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal.” – Paulo Coelho   I quit my job today.
