Life in Singapore moves fast, but Jennifer Hong chose to slow down. She packed her backpack, quit her job, and set off on a solo adventure that would take her 114 days from Singapore to Kazakhstan without taking a single flight.

We caught up with Jennifer during her journey to hear what life on the road has really been like. Travelling alone in unfamiliar places has not always been easy, but the experience brought unexpected moments, challenges, and unforgettable discoveries.
