Woke up this morning and sat in bed with a cup of coffee reminiscing about my trip to Thailand. It doesn’t feel like long ago, but it’s coming up to 2 years now! There are so many things i miss about being there. The ice coffee the locals made for us, waking up to a view of elephants bathing in the river and sitting on the terrace at 3am with the new people I’d met. I can’t begin to compare the supermarket instant coffee I’m drinking now on a student budget to the fresh Thai coffee beans blended with almond milk. After a long day of making elephant food, unloading watermelons from trucks and chopping down old banana tree plantations in 40 degree heat, there was nothing better than relaxing on the terrace with an ice coffee. It’s so interesting how different food and dinks taste when they haven’t been shipped thousands of miles across the world. That is one of the things I value the most about travelling, eating the food straight from the source. There’s nothing better than a fresh mango! Especially during these times, where we are restricted to staying in one country, I would give anything to be back in the jungle.
