Hello and welcome... I invite you all to come along with me on my journey across the globe... This is not just my adventure, it is yours as well, and I will do my very best to make it as interesting, exciting and captivating for you as I can...
Oh Yes.. Like many of you, I did the prerequisite backpacking through Europe when I was 22, however this is different... I am 20yrs wiser now...
Western society tells me that I should by now have the following: be married, children, designer home with all the latest and greatest appliances, the private school education for the children, the luxury car or 2 sitting in the driveway, the property portfolio, the investment portfolio and the monstrous debt that will keep me trapped in slavery for the rest of my days... Oh... and did I mention the hum drum Mon-Fri 9-5 job...
Well... I have thought about it... tested the waters... seriously thought about it some more... and decided... Thankyou... but no Thankyou...
So, I have sold up, packed up... and embark on my journey in 3 days time... How exciting...
For those of you who are on your journey already, soon to embark on your journey, coming to the end of your journey, or perhaps still in that dreaming stage...
Please feel free to comment, post advice, seek guidance, ask questions or anything else... I certainly hope to meet some of you along my travels... Take care everyone... Nic x

Location: Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, Johor Bahru, Lumut, Pulau Pangkor, Cameron Highlands, Penang Length of Stay: 37 Days Cost per Day: $13 Well... What a pleasant surprise Malaysia has turned out to be... Quite easily a country you could plan to visit for several weeks and end up staying several months.... Free visa on arrival by the way is given for 90 days... I did head to Indonesia after Singapore as I had planned, however I was so terribly unhappy being there that I left after my 2 weeks in Java and headed straight for this delightful country called Malaysia... With each [View Full Entry]

Location: Singapore, Sentosa Island, Pulau Ubin Length of Stay: 11 days Cost per Day: $ 42 Lamborghini's, Maserati's, Ferrari's.... amazing and everywhere... What an incredibly prosperous and dynamic city Singapore is and such a refreshing change after Bali... There is construction, redevelopment, restoration going on everywhere... and the city has an air of confidence and assuredness about it which is very infectious... It makes it a very attractive place to be... I was thinking... Singapore the country really only consists of Singapore the city + a few small islands... How easy i [View Full Entry]

I am completely exhausted and could go a little 5* right about now... Backpacking for 30 days around Bali in the heat has completely worn me out.. 2 weeks probably would have been enough, still you dont know till you experience it do you... So... my thoughts on Bali... Kuta and Ubud are the two sizzling hot and very cool spots to visit on anyones itinerary... however the rest of Bali did absolutely [View Full Entry]

Firstly... most important... if you are coming to Fiji to visit anything islandy... beachy... or resorty... then dont forget the aerogard... :)... the mosquitos can be most troublesome at nite...

The welcome band on arrival
Location: Port Vila Length of Stay: 19 Days Cost per Day: $20.00 Alo…Bonjour and Hello…The 3 spoken languages here are Bislama (Pidgeon English), French and English. It is just amazing to see people switch between all three when communicating with a group of people. What a fabulous 1st destination to begin one’s journey. Port Vila is such a gorgeous little place… It is officially the capital city of Vanuatu, however, really it’s just a town sitting on the edge of a beautiful harbour. The Vanuatu people or Ni-Vans as they call themselves are without [View Full Entry]

Departure Day Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Brisbane
Well... Here I am sitting at the Brisbane International airport with a couple of hours to fill in... My goodness security is certainly a big deal nowadays... Was wonderful to have the opportunity to spend 24hours in Brisbane, quite a lot of changes in the city during my absence of 15mths... Still, I have no desire to live here again, so was very good to get that out of my system... Ok.. so 1st stop is Port Vila in Vanuatu, where I will spend 3 weeks... Cant wait to escape the Australian winter and go somewhere Tropical... I have decided that [View Full Entry]
