A Trans-Atlantic Adventure

After finally having made it to the end of my two-year UK working holiday visa - and more to the point, having finally saved up enough money to go travelling again - I have lined up what I hope to be an amazing three-month-plus inter-continental adventure, exploring in greater depth a few of the countries that I have previously only really gotten a taste of; whilst hopefully finally putting the 'holiday' back in 'working holiday'.

So the plan is to spend a full month exploring Turkey, a week of fun in the sun with four of my English mates in Tenerife, and then three weeks cycling around the Netherlands; before loading up my bicycle and my backpack and flying to Canada to hopefully spend a further month hiking and cycling through the Rocky Mountains. And when the money finally runs out - which will hopefully be later rather than sooner - I'll try to find work in Canada, so as to prolong my working holiday for as long as possible...
