A New Home - Escaping Australia and The Real World

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

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.

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.

Okay so there we were. Standing. Staring. It was dark and we could barely see the warriors in front of us it was only with the occasional flashes of camera light that we could see them. We soon realised that there was apparently three ... [Continue reading this entry]

Digging a well gone horribly horribly wrong, or right

I'mmmmmmmm back. I know I haven't written in ages, I wish I could say that I was doing something exciting and breathtaking, but the simple fact is that I have been incredibly lazy. So lazy in fact that I can't even think ... [Continue reading this entry]

ARGH! WARRIORS! RUN!

Thursday, November 1st, 2007
TERRACOTTA WARRIORS! Excuse me. TERRACOTTA WARRIORS. Okay I'm done. If you hadn't already guessed today we went to see the Terracotta Warriors. We did it through the hotel we were staying at, and they organized for a taxi to take us to the warriors ... [Continue reading this entry]

Go Away Mum

Thursday, November 1st, 2007
'It was an experience' 'Shut up mum' Mum is still nattering on in the background while I am typing this up. After we had gotten in the second taxi we started to drive and drive and drive. Soon we had been in the ... [Continue reading this entry]

‘Well, that was an experience.’ ‘Mum I am going to have to hurt you.’

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
I was listening to a Chinese song. It was a strange song and the beat and strange words seemed to jump all over the place. After my experience with the taxi driver I needed to focus singlely on something or I ... [Continue reading this entry]

AHHH MY EYE!

Monday, October 29th, 2007
My contacts didn't go in properly today. Not a good sign. I have had contacts since I was thirteen and since then I have found out that if ever my contacts don't go in properly in the morning. That is they ... [Continue reading this entry]
