About this blog

Sell your car, put your career on hold, cram all of your worldly posessions into a storage locker, cash in your savings and what do you get? What you've been looking for... hopefully.

I'd been planning to see more of the world than a 2 week holiday would allow me to for a long time. On Feb 20th 2002, I started a 9 month journey through the middle east and the far east to do just that.
