About this blog

This is the diary of one man who buggered off to the other side of the planet as part of his 30th birthday crisis. It's a path travelled by many but for me it's all new. This diary is for me to remember my experiences, sometimes in minute detail, possibly too much detail, but when I'm old and dribbly I'll need the detail to fill in the gaps. So feel free to read and enjoy.
