Comment on At the Shaolin Temple
We are soon to set off on our expedition to see if it is possible to travel around the world (well, most of it) in 365 days!
Starting in South America, we will then travel to Central America, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China and South East Asia.
We will keep our journal updated so that everyone can read about our progress, and send help if necessary!!........ full info
