3 days left! Thursday 8th March, 2012. Wow! I can't believe how quickly my leaving date has caught up with me! I still have a few things left to do, but the majority of my packing is done, and I should be able to finish all my remaining tasks today, leaving the weekend free to... panic! Ahh! I am starting to get so nervous now. It feels so strange saying goodbye to everyone and knowing I won't see them for 5 months. What's worse is that Sam is going on his own journey on 15th June, and he won't be in the UK when I get back. I have to wait 8 months to see him!

Hello there! So today is Wednesday 22nd February and today I had the last of the injections I was advised to have before travelling. All together I've had Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio and two Japanese encephalitis injections. I'm due to start taking my malaria medication on Sunday, as that will be exactly two weeks before I leave! I am also fully equipped with a brand new backpack and sleeping bag, and I've been gradually stocking up on the essentials... sun cream, mosquito spray, international mobile and SIM card... I even have a 'travel towel', which is really thin and feels more like fleecing than an absorbent towel?! Oh well, I'll find out how practical it is soon enough I suppose! Earlier this month Sam and I took a trip to London and stayed at the Shaftesbury ... read more

Hi everyone! Welcome to my little blog. I hope I'm able to add a new entry every week so I can keep you updated, and with any luck I'll be able to post a few photos too. I wanted my first entry to be from home, that way I can look back at it myself if I'm feeling homesick and you guys can see what I get up to back at home in Southampton (it's not very exciting, don't get your hopes up!). This blog is accessed by my family, friends and members of the public following my travels, so bear with me if I'm boring you with the preliminaries! The Basics. Name: Streets. Age: 25. Hometown: Southampton, UK. Status: In a relationship. Educational background: MA Media & Communication (Goldsmiths College, London 2010) BA English Literature ... read more
