About this blog

Well, the time has finally come to leave Blighty and head for sunnier climes. I'm spending 5 months in South America, starting with a 10 week trip through Venezuela & Brasil. Then iv'e got a couple of months to wander from Rio de Janeiro to Santiago.

Next up is a month in New Zealand, followed by a couple of months on Australia's East Coast, then I'm flying from Cairns (via Ulluru) to Perth, for Xmas with my dad.
