Barney & Teresa's World Travels
In and around World
Hello all!
After both graduating from the University of Plymouth in the summer of 2006 we have been working hard at Havant Borough Council and Oxford University respectively in order to save for this trip as we are not quite ready to commit to the responsibilities of full time career jobs!!
We will be heading to Japan, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, India, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
This blog should hopefully keep everyone updated on our progress and what we get up to. We will aim to update it as often as possible and put lots of photo's on here to make you all jealous.....
Happy working!
Barney & Teresa
