Why, When and Where?
G´day people!! I thought I should explained what I´m doing or better what I´m gonna do for the next 10 months.
Ok, first of all I´m Simon, I´m 23 and I come from Colombia.
I´ve being working in Spain for the last 13 month in order to earn the money for my trip.
Why?
´Cause I love to travell, I love new experinces and I had thought of travelling around the world for the last 5 years.
When?
My trip will start on the 30th of September 2006.
Where?
On the 30th I´ll take the ferry at 13:00 from Ibiza and will arrive in Barcelona at 21:30. I´ll then stay in Barcelona for two nights and on the 3rd of October at 03:00 I´ll take a flight to Tel Aviv, Israel.
Then after that the route is uncertain. There are some places I would like to go and see, but almost everything will be decided on the road. In Israel I think I´ll stay in Tel Aviv for a couple of days, I´ll go to Jerusalem, Masada, and the Dead Sea.
I got in contact with a guy from Israel that Aoife and I met in Prague on May 2005, and we´ll probably meet. I also have a friend from Palestine, who used to work with me in Germany, and I might visit him as well.
Then I want to go to Egypt! Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, The Valley of the Kings, the Pyramids, the Nile!! Some diving in the Red Sea? YEAH!!! 🙂
After Egypt I don´t have a clue. I want to fly to India and from then on, all or almost everything by land. Of course there will be places where I can´t enter (e.g. Kingdom of Butan) or some that are very difficult, so I´ll fly or try to get around them. I would like to make it to the Philippines, “having” then to cross almost all Asia (Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong and China jajaja ;))
Then comes the flying part. I would like to fly to Australia and New Zealand. I´ll probably stay only the necesary or just a very short time, because of the high prices, and then I´ll fly again to Chile.
Once in South America, I´ll go to Chile, Argentina (probably stay some time there with my sister and godson =) ), Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and then at last but not least my beloved Colombia, that I´ll try to have with/on me in form of a hat (Sombrero Vueltiado) for the whole trip.
This is my journey, this will be me for the next 10 month, un sombrero a camera and a bag, this is me making my dream come true.
Now you know what I´ve being doing for the last years, now you know what I´ll do for the next one.
The journey ends in Colombia in August 2007,
then, is time to get back to college, glups!

Hey hon! I am so excited for you that you are finally getting to go on your great adventure! I’m jealous too – I am trying to get a job, not only that, but a “career” job, meaning that my days of long holidays to fun places might be over… So you will have to see Israel, India and the rest of it for me too! While wearing the Sombrero Vueltiado, of course! Lots of love and wishes for fun, Blair
Many many thanks to all of you, that gave me your love and good vibes per email or by leaving a comment, it means a lot to me, and I´m glad to have such good friends who support me and wish me the best!
My thoughts will be with you every day,
see you soon,
simon =)
