Time for a new adventure

Hello….is anyone still there….it’s time for me to fire this blog back up as I live out my midlife crisis by spending the next year travelling.

The broad itinerary is split into 4 chunks.

First up, 5 and and half months in Australia, South East Asia and Japan. Then, after a month’s R&R at home, 2 months through Southern and Eastern Africa. Another brief visit home followed by a few weeks in Canada, and then the final pitstop home before a month or so in Central Asia.

As I did in my last extended period of travel, which is somehow 10 years ago, I’m hoping to use this blog as a diary, as a way of letting family and friends know what I’m up to, hopefully some hints and tips along the way, as well as creating something for me to look back on in the future.

So, come with me on the first leg, to Western Australia…
