Thursday 18th February 2016 marks the day I officially become a “backpack w*nker” and embark on a few months wandering off in a bid to keep becoming a proper grown up at bay.
Despite promising myself I would never own one of those giant rucksacks, I caved, loaded up on true travel essentials (30 pairs of knickers, eyeliner, a can of Batiste…..!) and waddled like a wide eyed turtle into Gatwick departures!
Itinerary
Decided on a completely illogical route just to ensure maximum stress and time spent confined within a tin can in the sky (60hrs….vom! #firstworldproblem)
First stop: Oz
Sydney / Gold Coast / Melbourne
Stop 2: South East Asia
Singapore / Kuala Lumpur / Hong Kong
Third stop: China
26 days Hong Kong to Hong Kong with The Dragon Trip
Last leg: USA
1 month TrekAmerica Southern BLT tour New York – LA
And then home in May!
And so the adventure begins, as with all great explorers before me, Cook, Columbus, Ray Mears……..with a Gin and Tonic at 10.30am!

Glad to hear you got there ok, keep topping up the gin it’s imperative for survival ( I think Ray Mears said that) . Please keep your fashion sense whilst on route. No excuse for standards slipping 😂 have fun , look forward to your next instalment xx
