About this blog

I woke up one morning and thought, "work? huh!" And so there it started. Booked my flight, made my plans and now I'm off on an adventure... The plan is to get round Southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand and South America in just over 10 months, having as much fun as I can manage on the way.

Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy being there!!
