Hi! This is my first blog post about all my travels through Thailand, Australia and anywhere else I end up going over the next 18+ months.

This has been a huge step for me to decide to go travelling as I've had to leave my job behind as an iPhone game developer - pretty cool huh? But sadly I can't stay as the calling of warmer, more exciting places is too great!

Hopefully I'll keep this blog updated as much as possible with photos and videos to spice it up a bit!

It's the 18th of Feb today and I'm flying out to Thailand on the 11th April. But not before getting in my 4th cheeky week of snowboarding with the Bournemouth Uni Snowriders society on the 29th of March! After that I'll be in Thailand for three weeks and then I'll actually be coming back to England for about a month or two in order to finish off the game I've been working on at Geek Beach. The plan initially was to go to Thailand then straight to Oz and beyond but this game is gonna take slightly longer than expected and it'll probably need a few tweaks after release so I thought it only fair on the other guys at Geek Beach to come back and finish everything off before leaving the company. What a nice guy eh? Always best to leave on good terms I think! Anyway, Dwayne would probably have a nervous breakdown if he had to sort out Sky Rider as well haha. Plus it might actually be good to break it up a bit as I can come back after a hopefully hectic but relaxing Thailand to compose myself, save a bit more money then shoot off to Oz!

I'm going out to Thailand with my current housemate Benz who's Thai. He's mainly off out to see his family out there so I'll be on my own for about half of the 3 weeks. I'm sure I'll be able to find some like minded travellers up for partying and doing fun stuff, exploring the country and maybe having a cold bevvie or 5!

There's so many things to look forward to for this Thailand trip alone. Mainly the beaches, scenery, waterfalls, scuba-diving and oh yes.. Drinking :) I've only ever heard amazing things about the Full Moon Party so I'll definitely be hitting that one up on the 25th of April. Expect a very slurry blog post on the following day! (If I manage to keep this up that is.)

So I'm gonna end this post there I think as otherwise I'll have nothing else to talk about for the next 6 weeks. Though during that time I've gotta sort out all the most exciting things about the trip like how I'm gonna take my money around with me and getting some malaria tablets (they're expensive but I'd rather shell out 60 quid than have malaria wouldn't you?) These 6 weeks are gonna be crazy fun!
