Hi! I’m Suki from Thailand and I’ve visited all 7 continents by the age of 22.

I made this blog as an archive and a place to share my stories of the adventures, the quirks and the not-so-fun side of all my travels. Hopefully I can inspire and motivate you to travel and share your own stories.

How did I reach all 7 continents at a young age?

Short answer - By accident.

Long answer - I never really planned for it. I just happened to be at the right place and right time.

When I was a student in Shanghai, I had only travelled to a handful of countires and it was in China that I was surrounded by people from across the globe and it was an eye opening experience to hear a lot about the faraway places that my friends call home. As holidays came and went, some of them visited Thailand and I was able to show them around my home and city. I hosted friends from the US, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Korea, Australia and many more. Knowing that I had friends in many countries around the world waiting to reciprocate the hospitality gave me the confidence to travel outside of my comfort zone.

When I was in my 2rd year at university, I had developed a habit of spending my summer and winter vacations in different countries for months to truly experience the culture. One summer break in 2013, I stayed in Seoul, South Korea for 3 months and that inspired me to travel to North Korea within 30 days of my South Korea trip.

But my 7 continent in a year journey began in 2014. After a 3 day New Years trip in Hong Kong, I had planned to go to Argentina for my winter break to study Spanish and travel across the country. During my travel there, I was in Ushuaia (the southern most city in the world) and saw last minute opportunity for a 2 week trip to Antarctica. Knowing it was an opportunity of a lifetime, I took that chance and while heading back to Asia by way of Turkey, I realized I had visited 3 continents in a single trip.

When spring came in April, for Thailand’s New Year festival holiday, I planned a trip to South Africa where I skydived for the first time and went on a safari. During summer break, I had the chance to go to the US for the first time as I had a lot of friends there and visited 5 states while also catching a glimpse of the Grand Canyon and tried surfing for the first time on the beaches of Honolulu.

It was only then that Australia remained and as luck would have it, a family member was graduating in Melbourne, Australia in October. It was almost too perfect of an opportunity. The stars had aligned and within a few days, I was diving at the Great Barrier Reef, exploring Sydney and upon reaching Melbourne, we celebrated both my cousin’s graduation and my achievement of visiting all 7 continent in a year.
