PeteB - Peter Brown

I'm Pete, i'm 23 years old, have been working in London for 4 years as a Financial Analyst and have at last got around to going travelling. I'm going to be driving from London to Singapore with Nancy who i work with and Adelle, a willing traveller we found online who lives in Blackpool. Once in Singapore i hope to fly out to Australia if i have any money left! I'll do my best to update my blog along the way so those who know me can check that i'm still alive!

Below is a map of our rough intended route and i'll create another one as we travel to show exactly where we end up. We leave England on September 1st, get the ferry to Calais before driving through Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine. Then we drive north into Russia and head straight to Moscow. Here is the longest leg of our journey as we head east for days on end before finally entering Mongolia. After Mongolia, we'll need a guide to help get us through China, then onto Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and finally Singapore.

Crance - Nancy my co-traveller!

Our car (Mitch)
Here is our car for the journey. Its yet to have any work done on it but its a 1995 Mitsubishi Shogun and was ours for £2,000.
We've found our car!!! Its a dark green 1995 Mitsubishi Shogun and he's called Mitch! We spotted him last week on auto-trader and Nance went down for a visit. We don't know a lot about cars but it looks in good condition, has relatively low mileage and at £2,000 was well within our budget. All we need to do now is get it looked over for any potential issues and then make a few modifications in preperation for the long journey ahead. [View Full Entry]

It's now Wednesday 11th June and as at the start of this week i've only 50 days left in the office. So i thought its time for an update on progress (or lack of in some cases). I've started my jabs now and have had Typhoid, and i'm part of the way through the Hep A + B course (i think). No problems at the moment except a few minor flu like side effects. Next week i'll begin the three courses of Rabies jabs which is the most expensive of the lot at about £120. Nance had hers today and so [View Full Entry]

Ok, less than 4 months to go now and after planning since late November we think we've researched and know everything we need to sort out. The problem now is actually doing it. Researching bit by bit we've come to realise and accept that parts of the trip are going to be incredibly challenging. We just hope Adelle up in Blackpool has been doing the same otherwise she's going to be in for a huge shock when we reveal it to her all in one go! Things that need to be sorted still are; Finances - i haven't got any money! [View Full Entry]
