About this blog

Hey I know you! Or do I? Regardless, Welcome to my personal travelouge, THE SCENIC ROUTE 2006-7. Here, I will attempt to chronicle a 12-15 month circumnavigation of our planet. The trip will be an extensive exploration of natural wonders, cultural/societal difference and so, so much more. Currently pondering thoughts of graduate school, travel just seems to fit snug into the puzzle of my life at the moment. I share this site with you in hopes that you too will travel the world vicariously through its words and images. So here it is, the Scenic Route 2006-7 (pun definetly intended!)
