About this blog

Returning from a brief 2 month trip of Asia, I find myself with no job, no girlfriend, & no mortgage....but a nice little sum in my bank account from years of saving for a rainy-day - and my 30th Birthday!

So what better present to give myself than an all expenses paid, trip around the world!!!

Actually, Ive been planning on travelling to South America for years now...and have found RTW trips to be almost as cheap as return tickets. But the 4 continents ticket seemed like the best value, and my 3 months in South America has now exploded into a 9 month 3 continent extravaganza (My home continent Australia is the 4th so doesnt really count). But hey - Ive even managed to squeeze in a quick stop in Perth on the way home....
