My 2009 Year Of Travelling In Review

by Chris Mitchell on January 7, 2010

2009 was another very full on year of travelling for me, with trips happening nearly every month from my base in Bangkok. Just as with 2008 (see 2008 review here), much of my travelling was scuba diving related as I continued writing for Scuba Diver AustralAsia, Asian Diver and newcomer EZ Dive magazines, along with Bangkok Airways‘ magazine Fah Thai. Much of the time I was on a boat heading to remoter parts of places like Burma and Indonesia that are not normally seen by travelling on land. Certainly my love of Indonesia is deepening more and more with several visits there during 2009 – Bali remains a fantastic place to hang out , I’ve got several good friends currently based there, and the landscapes both above and below water around Komodo, the Banda Sea and Papua are nothing short of mindblowing.
