Well I'm Dan and about to embark on a 7 month travel around Australia and New Zealand. Exciting times, I'm doing the cowardly thing and leaving all my troubles behind and starting afresh after an already disastrous year.

So it’s been a long time since I last wrote on this, in fact too long. Life has taken many twists and turns in the last few months from working as an office manager for a campervan company to working as a waiter on a tropical island (not as fun as it sounds) Anyway I will try and start at the beginning from memory.

So as most of you know I have arrived safe and sound in the beautiful city of Sydney. It’s been a strange first week as I have met some amazing people and had to say goodbye to them as quickly as I said hello. I have continued my tradition of lifting my shirt up to unsuspecting people and shouting abuse at helpless by-standers while being slightly intoxicated which has been every day since I arrived. Feels like uni again! Anyway during my more posed times of the day I have been up to a number of activities. The first day I arrived it was half six in the morning so I was unable to check into my beautifully decorated hostel in the slightly seedy area of Kings Cross (over here it is an area teemed with ... read more
