About this blog

This i something i knew I would do eventually, exactly when and where too was never finalised until a little over a month ago when i booked a round the world ticket for myself! I am hoping to meet lots of people on the way and see as many places as i can. I have a return date but would love to extend it further if i find a place with the right opportunities.
