The start of my adventure

Travelling has always been something of a distant thought until now.. I am finishing university and to me that is going to be my next step in life, forget about a job I just want to eat Papaya Salad in Laos and ride elephants in Chiang Mai. 

I don't think you can put a price on travelling really which is why I like this life quote so much. It's true though, I'm going to become definitely more culturally inept, I'll probably learn some things about myself I didn't know, I will see things I will have never seen, taste things I will have never tasted and sleep places I probably won't want to sleep ever again. And to be honest I can't think of anything I would rather do. 

The start of my adventure will be South-East Asia for around 6 weeks in June, starting in Bangkok, Thailand and then venturing round in a loop to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia and then finishing in the South Thailand Islands for the notorious Full-Moon Party before heading back to England at the beginning of August. 

I will then work night and day to save a ridiculous sum of money to pay for my Australian and New Zealand adventure come 2014 April time, but between this time I will also do a 6 month Ski season in Meribel, France. This doesn't technically count as travelling but it is all part of my adventure and will hopefully show that I didn't bum around for a whole year and help me to gain some sort of common sense!

Before I go off on a complete day dream of seeing the world, I will need to finish my degree and this will require doing some work, so despite it being a rainy Sunday and being hungover I am going to do some of my dissertation.

Happy reading.
