The time has come for me to embark on yet another 'trip of a lifetime' This time, 4 continents, no work, my backpack, a few Lonely Planet guides, my ipod, my passport and enough cash for 217 days (Am hoping this is the trip I learn how to budget properly). I take off January 9th and head to Thailand for a relaxing (ha!) holiday with my good friend MelNoGoodNicabocca before the mayhem and go, go, go of backpacking begins. Zoshy
As I wave good bye to Mel, I say hello to freedom and the world of the unknown, on my own for the next 7 months. Well, not exactly on my own, I am visiting so many friends along the way. Firstly I get to visit a very good friend of mine, Londontown. It's been 6 years since I have been there and looking forward to cathing up with the new generation of expats. Can't wait to give big cuddles to you, you know who you are!! A catch up down south with the crazy Balcombites and then I jet off to Central America. First stop Mexico City.
Who knows where and when after that but I have been reading up big for the past 6 months and have been going to Spanish school for the past 3, so am really looking forward to exploring these amazing countries and seeing what they have to offer. Come April I will be meeting 15+ friends in L.A to hit up Coachella Music Festival for the 2nd year running, OH YES WE ARE!!!! And lucky me, a side trip to NYC penciled in with my Muppet, OH YES IT IS!
Lots of time to head back down to Central America and finish off what I have started. Then up to visit the beautiful Canada and say hi to my equally as beautiful Canadian friends. There is an idea of San Fransisco for 4th of July celebrations, but who knows!? To top off all of these amazing places and friends I finish up with the big double 30th bash for Ezmay Watson and Miss Muppet in Bali!!! This two weeks alone could definitely have made my year!
2012 is going to be my year and what a year it will be. I have created this blog so you can follow my adventures, I hope to update as much as possible, so keep checking in. I have decided to travel without a laptop or ipad so using the internet cafes should be interesting :)
Of course, all of my plans are subject to change. I guess, that's when I will learn the beauty of travelling alone. Changing plans won't effect anyone else but me :) At this stage all I have booked are my main flights, my coachella ticket and my Bali accommodation. Who knows who I will meet and where that experience may take me. The world is in fact my oyster and I can't wait!!!!
Stay tuned as I am sure it will be an entertaining 7 months ahead.
Please keep in touch, it's always really nice to get news from home while on the road.
Much love to you

I know I have said it before and no doubt I will continue to say it throughout my trip, travelling really is the best teacher and I am still learning, well at least I hope I am learning. What´s the one thing you need to get to your hostel in a new city? A name is fantastic yes, but an address is even better. So what does Zosia do? I arrive to an non English speaking country with no address of where to go. Oh how I flashed back to Rome 2005 as a young 21 year old standing in the middle of the city in tears because I had no idea where I was supposed to be going. This time I was not going to cry, I was going to work it out like an ... read more

Looking at the map of Koh Phangan was quite daunting. So many places to stay and so many beaches to choose from. As Mel and I discussed over breakie I realised this was the great thing not only about Mel but travelling with Mel. The two of us didn´t care, as long as there was beach and cold drinks near by. So looking at this map I closed my eyes, spun my finger and slammed it onto the map, this would be where we ended up and the winner was Mac´s Bay Resort. As we pulled up to Mac´s Bay we were a little worried about our choice. We had been dropped off in what felt like the middle of nowhere to a building site, a few old hanging chairs and no beach in sight. We ... read more

Sitting in the car on the way to the airport felt different this time. As I tried to talk to Mum all I could think about was trying not to be sick, I couldn't talk and I could hardly breathe. Am pretty sure this was my first panic attack. What was I thinking? Could I do this? Will I meet people? Will I be able to handle my budget? So many questions and no answers. Just breathe I thought to myself, I am going to have a ball. I just need to get to the plane and everything would be alright. After hugging Mum goodbye I walked through the doors and took a deep breath, this was it. I am off. As I searched for my flight panic mode kicked in. There was only a 15.05 ... read more
