Well… what started with a single post on the gapyear.com forums at the start of the year asking if anyone was headed out to Australia in early 2010, has turned into a group of people coming together to live the dream.
It started out as a discussion, then a date was picked, then flights were booked, then we met, and now just 37 days away, i sit here writing my first blog post, on what will document the dream and life experience that I'm about to embark on.
Aside from giving my parents peace of mind in the knowledge that every blog/photo or video i post means that im still alive, i want to not only document my travels, but also share them with those of you that are interested… and i will keep you interested, even if it means i post several pictures of half naked buff surf dudes for the girls and bikini wearing blonde bombshells for the lads (or at least i will link you to one of the male travel blogs).
You know you're probably getting too excited about the whole thing when friends start rolling their eyes at the mere mention of the word "Australia", because its all you talk about, or when you start counting down the days, 150 days…. 100 days!!…. 80 days!!!… 40 days!!!!…. each time adding more exclamation points without even realising.
I am excited, I'm REALLY excited… but before i can totally let myself go, i need to start preparing myself for the part of this whole trip that I've been dreading the most… saying goodbye!
I say my first goodbye this week… people that i once referred to as work colleagues and uni buddies, have now become friends… friends that i will miss… and will also bombard with pictures of the sun, sea and sand while they are stuck in here in the cold, wet and gloomy UK… a parting gift I'm sure they will appreciate.
And so the journey begins…
…where there is an end…. there is a start
