In short, I am quitting my job at the end of 2012 and traveling the world for a year (at least) starting in 2013.
What can I say? I’ve got a serious case of of the travel bug. Life is short. Enjoy it while it lasts and while you can. You’ve got one life to live and you’re only young once. I’ve been dreaming and saving for years, planning for months, and it’s only the beginning. It was around my 27th birthday when I realized the dream could finally become a reality. I’ve been quite excited ever since.
V for Vacay! 
I think we are kindred spirits! Once I finish Uni I’m outta here and travelling the world for as long as I want! Can’t wait to read more from you and hopefully you check out and like my blog too! :)
That sounds like a great plan! I look forward to reading your blog as well! :)
Looking forward to follow your adventures :) Like your features “calendar” and “spendings” Happy travels!! :)
Hi Jenny! Thank you for reading! :) I try to keep Calendar and Spending up to date. As of today, I am actually a month or so behind on blogging. I am taking a week or so off from adventures to try and catch up so there will be lots to read/see very soon haha. Cheers!
Yay for you!
Hi, could I contact you via email please? I would like to make an offer for your blog. It is a pity that many bloggers does not have contact form or email to yourself :-)
Mark
Thank you for your consideration Marek, but my blog is not for sale. :)
I’m ecstatic to be following your journeys across the globe. Keep being free spirited and let the world become your oyster.
I just stumbled across your blog today. I see so many similarities in our experiences except that I’m in my mid-30s not late 20s. In November this year I’m leaving Australia to travel the world indefinitely. I’m starting by flying to South Africa to buy a small 125cc motorbike and ride that to Kenya via all the countries in southern Africa. I expect that will take 6-9 months. Then, who knows. Maybe 6-9 months hiking and cycle touring around Europe before heading to India to buy a Royal Enfield and ride that to Nepal.
I am lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you see it) because I have been able to negotiate a permanent part-time job with my employer so will still have some income while I’m on the road (my job is entirely online and I quite enjoy it but I hate being tied to an office). I won’t earn much but it will bolster my savings to keep me on the road for longer ;)
I am going to read back through your first 14 months on the road and also follow your next adventures.
Hey Andrew! That sounds amazing! :) I’d definitely be interested in reading your blog about your travels as well. I would strongly advise getting all your African visas sorted before you go! I had such a debacle with Senegal, I’m permanently jaded against most African bureaucracy. You’ll read about that if you do indeed read through the first 14 months of my trip haha. I think it is very fortunate you were able to have a part time job lined up! If you could be a digital nomad, that’s the way to do it, I think! :) Thanks for reading and I look forward to your future adventures! :) Safe travels!
Fortunately as an Aussie I only need visa at border for Zambia and Tanzania. The rest of countries I’m visiting I can enter without visa :-).
I’m an American woman, 66 and traveling alone, mostly by bicycle, mostly in SE Asia. Would enjoy meeting other adventure travelers, especially in my age range. (Are there any? where?)
Do you have the name of the lantern factory you visited in Hoi An in 2008? I have seen many stores and showrooms but would love to see the actual factory.
Where are you now?
best wishes, Julie
