About this blog

In January 2009, the plan was simply to take a 2 weeks holiday to China and I don't know how it happened but I decided to go on an 18 months trip around the World .. However, after meeting a Portuguese girl in India I passed on working in Australia for 10 months, finished my world tour and come back to Europe earlier!!! The relationship did not work out but I am now still in Lisbon ... If you have any questions or want any tips on the places that I have been so far just email me: alexandrehuchet@hotmail.com
