Well after 267 days away I have made it back home. My flight left the terminal on time, but within 5 minutes we were parked up again due to a problem with one of the engines. So we were 1 hour late taking off, but the rest of the flight was fine. Heathrow T5 managed to sort out our bags without an issue, and before long I was standing in a cold and wet English summer waiting for a bus out of Heathrow.

It was a bit strange to be back home and not having anything to do everyday. But 5 days after being back in the UK I started work for a small engineering company and I'm now getting used to working life... and thinking about my next trip abroad!

I have already seen a few of you, and hopefully I'll see a lot more people over the coming weekends. Here are my answers to some of the most common questions I get asked:

Favourite places:
Galapagos Islands
Kyoto, Japan
Patagonia

Favourite food:
Steak in Argentina
Sushi in Japan
Ceviche in Peru

Worst food:
Teat in Argentina!

I hope you've enjoyed reading about my travels. I certainly have no regrets about leaving work and I thoroughly recommend a round the world trip!
