2023 has been the year of “first times” for me.
I’ll move to Taipei in 2 days and it’s the first time I buy a “one-way” ticket.
Too many emotions (and too many things to pack)!!
Do you remember the first time you bought your first one-way ticket?

The first (and last so far) time I bought a one-way ticket was in 2020 when I was supposed to go to Korea for a student exchange… and in the end I was only there for 10 days as our exchange was cancelled due to covid.

My second trip to Asia as a backpacker was a one way trip with zero agenda, just go move about for as long as necessary. This was more than twenty years ago right around the time of the movie “The Beach,” and man… the beginning of the film captures that era soooooo perfectly.

First one way ticket in 2019 when I moved to Beijing to work at LTL 
However I had to book a return ticket a few months later because of covid!
I’m planning on buying another one way ticket early next year but this time for Taipei

Just before covid, in October 2019 > Warsaw. Booked my return flight home at the end of 2020.
Wanted to go to South Korea before going home but my friends discouraged me as they were worried I would get stuck there 
What a shame, have you managed to get to South Korea since?
First one way ticket in 2020.

In the middle of the pandemic too! Hope it all went smoothly
Where were you travelling to?
My first ever one-way ticket was in 2014 to Shenyang, China. Bit of a shocker for me because I never really had an itch to leave the UK back in the day.
However, once leaving my mind completely flipped and now I’d never go back for good.
So glad I booked that ticket 
Funny reading this again after almost one year 
I booked it and so glad I did!

Was going through my emails looking for an old flight ticket and I stumbled across this.
Not my first ever one-way flight but the one that took me to LTL for the first time.
FUN FACT || I actually got bumped up to business class for the first time ever. I still to this day do not know why, but I strongly believe it was because the check-in lady saw myself, my Mum and Dad all crying by the desk because I was leaving the UK and we were saying our goodbyes.
My bag was also overweight so I had to leave a few things at home.
I’m certain this was her way of trying to flip my emotions into positive ones! To this day, it always gives me fond memories of Emirates.

I left for China from the UK in February last year. I went almost entirely on land, so that was a lot of one way tickets!
Too many coaches if you ask me. I had a romantic image of beautiful trains chugging along coast lines, through mountains… instead I bumped my backside on hard seats in buses after buses for 1000s of miles.
Ah well, still, the best series of one way tickets of my life.
This is just too cool!
Whether it lived up to the romantic image or not, what an epic journey!
What was the best part of the route would you say?
