Getting ready for the off

I've just finished a two year graduate training programme and like many other 26 year olds, I don't quite know what to do with the rest of my life. So, the next 4 months or so will be spent travelling the globe visiting friends and exploring new countries.

My route: Manchester - New York - Washington, D.C. - San Francisco - Vancouver - Sydney - Melbourne - Kuala Lumpur - Cambodia - Thailand - India - Kenya - Manchester.

I leave three weeks today and will be spending those three weeks firstly getting rid of this cold, and then getting all of the basic essentials needed for my trip.  The most important of course being the backpack! 

Basic planning will be done but mostly I just want to wait and see what happens along the way and who I meet to dictate what I do rather than having a prescriptive itinerary to stick to - those things never fit in with my personality!

So, watch this space - hopefully there will be a few interesting, maybe scandalous (?) tales to tell!
