Around The World 1989 to 1990

a trip by Ian Waterfield

From: April 18th 1989
Until: March 8th 1990
After finshing our degrees, myself and four friends decided that we would travel around the world for a year before joining the world of work. We visited Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. We spent most of the time in Australia, where we also worked for a few months.
