About this blog

Hello All,

Welcome to my blog for my big South American trip.

After popping into Vancouver to visit my cousin Jamie and his lady Mel, I'm heading to Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina for 3 months.

Apart from all the sights and adventures in SA, I'll also be hooking up with the touring Victoria University Men's Football team in Buenos Aires between the 14-22nd November.

After this I'll be heading back to NZ for Fuss and Penny's wedding in Napier before catching up with family and friends in NZ and Australia.

The final stop is scheduled to be in Singapore before returning to London sometime around February/March or April 2011. It depends on when somebody offers me a job.

I hope you enjoy following my travels.

O

p.s anybody wanting to escape and come join me along the way is most welcome. How does Buenos Aires for New Year sound?
