About this blog

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the our welcome page....I hope you are sitting comfortably, you are in for a long ride!

Our journey starts in London, from where we travel to Bangkok and spend 3 months exploring SE Asia, and then a further 3 months in China before we leave Asia for a "quick" 7 week stop in Australia. From there we have set aside 4 months for South America with the possibilty of extending our trip a further extra two months.

We will try our best to document our travels in the diverse and exciting places that await us and hope this provides an entertaining read!

Jon and Daniella
