2: Background
Some brief background then as to why I bother with this Blog…
After years of deliberation, procastination and generally chicken’ish hesitation I grabbed an opportunity to quit my current job and try something new…
I have not spent too many thoughts on what job I will do next and I’m not too bothered about this question at the moment because I have other plans for the short-term which are aimed at escaping the monotoneous daily clockwork routine of wakeup, commute, work, commute, sleep for a wee while… (I could expand this routine but you get the idea;-)
To do that (escaping) I plan to fulfil a long time desire to travel the world, experience different countries, cultures, people and live an almost certainly poorer lifestyle but hopefully a richer life in the short-term. And who knows I might even learn one or two things that might allow me to live a richer life in the long-term.
So… In a few months I will embark on a journey, nothing grand, nothing special or even epic but maybe some journey worth remembering, if not for others then at least for myself.
To that end the plan is that I will use this Blog as my travel diary and that (to others) it migth be a tracking device, a looking glass that wraps around the world to see whereever I am (or rather have been, still might be or maybe even will be shortly) and maybe a hearing aid that tunes into my thoughts whilst I am at those places.
I will try to keep a good record (hear hear) of where I am, where I have been and what I have seen and probably also what my next plans are. Seemingly I can add pictures so I might be able to throw in the odd photo to illustrate my trip 🙂 More importanlty though this Blog will hopefully not only allow me to keep a good visual record of the places I have seen but also of my thoughts and my emotions whilst travelling some exciting but also very different places around the world. No doubt there will be highs and lows throughout the trip and my aim is to capture those thoughts so I can relive my experiences more detailed later on… After all a title above a picture is just not enough to tell the tale, is it? 🙂
Well, for now I need to continue planning my trip as there are only about 2 months left until I leave work ( or should I say “until I start travelling”? 🙂
