Me and Jamie are embarking on a travelling trip lasting one year. I say one year and Jamie says six months, so it all depends on how much we spend, whether we like it and if we get along! We want to do the whole travelling thing before we choose to settle down and get jobs and responsibilities and also whilst we are still young. We are hoping to experience a whole range of different cultures, meet an array of different people not only travellers but also local people and become more culturally aware and hopefully better people (we'll see!!)
