From Start to Finish - An Adventure in Progress

In and around World

This is a Journal like other, a journal that will spread across many months. As a 23 year old I have pondered for many years on doing that elusive right of passage trip. Now it is time. This Journal will show you my highs and lows right from the start, to the very end. I hope it is entertaining and some what informative with hopes to inspire those thinking about travelling. Whilst helping the already travelled remember those good times they went through.
