And we're off

...And so it begins. The bags are packed, my clothes are creased and I'm already a flip flop down...
Tonight signals my last day in the UK before I embark on a 10 month trip across the globe!


I've packed everything from my sunnies and mankini, to my girlfriend and what seems like half the local pharmacy! All said and done, the zips have finally closed and i'm ready to get cultured! We're heading out to Japan first and will be making our way across China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and down into Singapore and Indonesia. A huge dose of Asian Culture as we work our way through South East Asia for the next 4 months. After that we head up to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji; and finally down into the US of A and Mexico before heading back to the UK!


I've never written a blog before, so bear with me. I'll be writing about a whole host of things; but don't worry I wont be chatting about my feelings, or how I stared into a goats eyes and found enlightenment! I'll be uploading a fair few photos on here to, so do come back and check on the progress of my beard!

I cant wait to get out there now and start the adventure! Look out for the "snapchats" on a Monday morning, and I'll see you all Next April, with a hopefully a beard, tan and cultured compass.

...arrivederci Ladies & Gents...

Errrr, he wont be coming home with a beard if I can stop it!  I am packed and ready to go too. Fitting 10 months worth of stuff into a backpack is a very difficult task, especially when you have a zillion clothes to choose from and several factor 50 suncream bottles -I have a feeling this high a factor may not exist outside of Europe. At least I have my cheer bow loud and proud (special thanks to my amazing cheer stunt group for my bow).


I am definitely excited to touch down in Japan and get this adventure rolling and I cannot wait to go back to Zoo Negara in Malaysia where I volunteered for a month back in the day, when I was a youngen. There will be loads of photos, scorps (for the cheerleaders) and possibly a sky dive video (yes, apparently I'm doing a skydive somewhere along the trip) so this blog is going to be packed full of stories.


Gaahhhhhh, we are now officially backpackers!
