About this blog

ok so first bit, written from the safety of home, and i am scared. we're going in less than three weeks, and my boyfriend says i'm doing his head in already. last night he finally said 'it's not all about the bloody malaria'... and jabs... and visas... and he's right. it should be about having one last fling before finally settling down and being boring. it's about learning to stop worrying because everything will work out as it always does. and it's about 'finding ourselves' but not in that sexy chakra manner! so anyway we're doing the usual se asia jaunt and then onto australia and new zealand. hope you enjoy reading and please tell me if i get boring! x
