The Man and the Plan
Thursday, July 8th, 2004My name’s Llew (short for Llewellyn) Bardecki, and I’m eagerly anticipating my departure on an upcoming year-long Round The World trip. To this point I’ve spent most of my life (24 of 28 years) living in Toronto, Canada with the remainder spent 600km away in Montreal studying civil engineering.
I’ve already travelled quite a bit, having been to every continent except Asia and Antarctica, but a lot of that was with my family when I was young, so my “independent” type travel experience is pretty limited (this will, of course, soon be rectified in a big way.)
Currently the plan is to stay in hostels, trekking huts and other inexpensive accommodations interspersed with visits to friends. Planning to this point has been pretty limited, save for working out some destinations and a rough schedule. My idea is to spend my time doing whatever strikes my fancy at a given moment, or is recommended by the heaps of fellow travelers and natives I hope to meet 🙂
