After graduating in 2007, myself and my best friend Sarah saved up very hard to go on a round the world trip without having to work along the way and simply enjoy seeing new places, learning about different cultures and trying new things. I wish I'd been able to blog as I went but wasn't online all that often. It often pained me but I kept a daily written diary and want to write that up online. Five and a half months worth is a lot so think day by day is best and thought a fun way to do it would be writing each one up a year on, almost to the date, which some entries will be.
