Join me, my tiny backpack and my big feet as I stumble my way round some parts of the world and see whats lurking round the corner...

About this blog

Trying not making too much of a plan this time, just going to see what happens. Starting with fleeting visit to my second home, Thailand, then Singapore, xmas & new year in Oz (cheesy Neighbours tour is a must), NZ, Fiji and various places in Africa.

I suppose I'll come home eventually...unless I actually DO get kidnapped by gibbons this time. They're very clever.
