About this blog

Hi,My name is Micky and I just about to backpack around the world- well I hope to get around the world. I am 30 years old and somehow my life has become stagnant. I have become stuck in a rut. I was in a job I didn't like any more, living with my dad again and my social life was dead, I didn't know what I wanted any more, so I am now off to find out if the grass is greener on the other side.So hopefully this experience will help find out what I can do and what I want to do. I start in Malaysia.
