About this blog

It's that time again...really did anyone think tht I would settle down for long...nope...and besides I've got a travel buddy, so this trip we can really wing it! And travel the real unpredictable way...we have a rough idea of where we're going...but other than that it's all up to chance...it's going to be quite the adventure...I don't even really know what's going to happen! So I hope that you enjoy the randomness of my trip and my experiences as I go along [and maybe...if you're lucky, you'll even learn something... :p] I have no idea how long I'm going for, I guess it really just depends on how everything goes...[and how long my finances takes me...] But either way, I'm psyched... Cheers Ali
