Trip plans.....

All good adventures start somewhere, this will be no exception.

After many hours of planning and preparation the time to leave is drawing closer. With only eight days to go before my trip commences, my mind is awash with the myriad of tasks which must be completed before one leaves on any journey, let alone one of this magnitude.

Over the next seven months, I hope to take myself and the reader through vast deserts, claustrophobic jungles, towering mountains, expansive plains and lush farmland. To experience the chaos of enormous cities, to the intricacy and subtlety of tiny villages.


Visas applied for and specialist gear ordered, now it is time to read the guide books and consolidate any knowledge of what lies ahead. Always in anticipation of the highs. Waiting for the inevitable lows.
