'Playing' with lions, bathing with elephants and into the unknown... my journey to find somewhere that fits and delay 'real life' a little longer!

About this blog

Please follow me while I help the lion cubs (and some adults! Grrr!), get to know the elephants and then venture into the unknown (but only 'cos I didn't really decide that part yet!).

Rough guideline? Lanseria, Dubai, Sri Lanka, Singapore, overland up to Thailand and back down again, Australia, New Zealand... home (with poss stops in Fiji and the U.S!). Estimated time away? 2 years!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I think I will and I'm open to you joining me at anytime! I want a travel-buddy!
