I have written this journal so that my friends and family can follow my travels accross the continents and laugh at all the unfortunate things that will no doubt happen to me. I intend to start in South Africa, then go on to South East Asia, ending up in Australia with a possibility of New Zealand and Fiji mixed in too. And who knows where else?.....
