An introduction.

One of the things people keep asking me when they hear I am going travelling for 2 months is if I have a blog. I kept a blog during a previous trip but the momentum slowed and the blog posts became less and less frequent as time went on. In spite of the initial internal resistance, I have decided to give it a go and have bought myself a small laptop which will hopefully take away any excuses for not updating regularly.

The trip will be in 2 parts. The first half I will be hanging out in Morocco and Spain and visiting some friends in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. I have a working plan in Google Docs that you can see if you click here. I've got some adventures planned that I look forward to posting about and uploading photos.

The second part of the trip will start at the beginning of June in Berlin when I meet up with Richi, a friend I know from when I was living in Sydney. We will fly to St Petersburg and spend a few days there before embarking on a journey that will see us crossing Russia and Mongolia by train before arriving in Beijing. You can see our plan here.

I will be using this blog to update my plans and share some experiences. If you are interested in following along, please subscribe and feel free to email me with any feedback that can help make the posts more interesting.
