My Journey begins

In and around World

Hello friends and family.

After finally setting up this blog a week after i arrived in Peru i have finally managed to sit down and share my travel experiences with you all.

My journey begins in Peru and is the start of a round the world trip commencing in South America then continuing to the South Pacific and ending in South East Asia, well that is the plan anyway.

On studying Humanitarianism and hopefully persuing a career in that field i decided to see the places that i have studied and those that i have not.  I am lucky to have the opportuinity to travel thanks to my parentsd and knew that it is something that i have to do, despite the reservations i felt just before i left.

So here i am.  I have found that after one week of traveling your plans change consistently so it will be interesting to see where i end up and what i do.  One thing is for sure, (sorry so American but i have spent the last days with some boys from Florida and its difficult not too pick up) this will be a trip of a life time, one that i will remember for the rest of my life.
