Hi my 20 followers... So im in Lake Taupo, but by the time I finish typing I may be in Roturua. Very skint at the mo, living on 20 quid a day, including accom, so no beer or treats for me, haha... So I went to the cinema in Wanaka, was so good. Proper sofas and funky little place, was really good. The next morning Pinky and I just chilled out and went into town for a bit. It took me about an hour to hitch a ride, the lady that picked me up said the disapointment on my face made her stop, as I had been waiting ages, haha. She was a really nice lady and we chatted all the way. She dropped me by the airport and I hitched into Queenstown with 2 irish ... read more

Hi Everybody, So this has been my longest without writing a blog, my excuses are that Mum and Dad have been away on holiday and I have been really realy busy, having the best time ever. So I am in New Zeland, I never thought it could be as good as Australia but Its amazing, I literally can't explain to you all how good a time I am having, how many amazing and great mates I have met and just having a fantastic time...! So picking up where I let off last time, we set sail on the British Defender sailing yacht around the Whitsunday Islands. It was totally totally amazing. The boat was a round the acht and was a real sailing boat. The weather was very high wind when we were there so we ... read more

Well hello everybody... Again it has been a while since my last blog, mainly due to the fact I have been working!!! and the internet in Australia never works and is expensive! Since my last blog I have done so so much, so here goes... So me and Coley spent the day watching hockey in Brisbane, was good fun and a very good standard. Was nice to have a few beers in the sun, as had not really done much of that since Asia...In the evening we went round one of the hockey girls houses, who he has started to get together with. Normally on a saturday night I wouldn't stay in, but for the case of a girls hockey team and me and Coley I took exception, haha. It was a good night, we watched ... read more

Well hello everybody, Sorry I have been off the radar for a little while, been having an interesting and relaxing time in Nimbin. Anyway, so I travelled on the bus to Byron Bay overnight and as usual slept like a log and woke up 20 mins from Byron. Checked into a hostel and had a wander down the beach. Was very nice, sat and chilled for a bit and tried to climb the rocks but my flip flop broke, so binned them! Then just chilled on the beach until the sunset. I will upload pics on here soon, but you want to see this sunset, was totally amazing, even better then all the ones in Asia. I think because there was so much cloud, it was unreal. Went back to the hostel and went out with ... read more

Hello everybody, Firstly I have uploaded loads of pics onto previous blogs, so check them out...! Well got to Sydney ok, spent last Wednesday walking around Singapore taking loads and loads of pics. Then got my flight at 7:50pm. Sat next to a really nice Australian guy, who had been holidaying with his wife in Europe. he was retired and had been on a 9 week cruise. he gave me loads of info on Sydney and Aus so that was cool. We landed at 5am Sydney time, (3am Asia time) and I had to wait 2 hours for my bus to the hostel. Total nightmare, was shattered and went straight to sleep as soon as I got there. When i woke up at lunch on Thursday I spent the day walking around Sydney. Took lots of ... read more

Hi everybody, Thought I would add a small quick blog and say hi...Got back to Singapore this morning from the Perhentian Islands, had the best time ever...!!! My journey there on Wednesday took about 5 hours from the Cameron highlands. Met a scottish girl called Kirsty on the boat and we found some where to stay after wandering around a few places. Was a nice dorm, really cold air con, and the weather has been boiling for the whole time I have been there. I'm totally black and have been asked if I have hispian relatives as nobody thinks i'm english, haha...The Island is so small, really not built up at all and the main bars are just 2 gazebo's on the beach, haha! Anyway, spent the first afternoon on the beach and then got some ... read more

Hi Everybody, Goodness me, Warany just pointed out that I have not done a blog for almost 2 weeks, completely didn't even realise! Sorry it might be a long one as I have been doing loads...But at the same time, we literally did nothing for a week on the Gili islands so not much to report there... So we spent 9 night on the Gili Islands in the end. It was so relaxing and the weather was so nice we basically couldn't be bothered to move for the whole week. We didn't go on a snorkeling trip that we were going to do either, which is a bit of a bummer, but apart from that it was amazing. I have put loads of pics on facebook, I will upload so more onto this blog at some ... read more

Hi everyone, We are on the Gili Island's and I think it is my favourite place I have been so far on my trip. Its is absolutly amazing... So picking up from my last blog, we got the night train to Kuala Lumpa, Me and James didn't sleep that well, so was shagged when got to Kuala Lumpa. We got to the hostel at 7:30am and the nice people at the hostel let me sleep in the janitor room, where there was a bed as I was poorly. The hostel was really really nice, really clean and just a really cool place. Once I had some sleep I felt a little better again. We spent 2 nights and 2 full days in Kuala Lumpa. Im not going to write that much as I was ill with ... read more
