In my last post I said it was the end.
But that wasn’t enough for me.
It may be the end of my travels around Europe and the world for the moment, but it’s not the end.
Escaping Australia.
This is my new home, a place to talk about all the things that I couldn’t put in this travel blog. I place to find out how to escape from the real world or escape from wherever it is you have found yourself stuck in.
It is a place to find out how not to get a real job, how to start travelling today and a place where you find out how not to look like an idiot when travelling.
So come and escape.

The time has come.
This story is over. After the Swiss Alps there was really nothing to report on the rest of that Contiki trip and I need to move on. It has happened almost a year ago now and I need to keep going with my life, I don’t regret going though it wasn’t the most fun I have had travelling.
So after 144 posts and over 25,000 hits I’m moving to a new home. Bootsnall has been great and I will be popping over here occassionally but to read about my current adventures I will be over at World Wanderings and AC.
Thanks for reading and I hope to see you over there if not on the road somewhere.
