i am about to embark on my first backpacking trip in December and i simply cannot wait!! i am going with my boyfriend (who is a pretty seasoned traveller) and we are off to Africa for as long as our finances will let us - starting with Uganda. i hope to be able to write about my experiences so that i can keep in touch with family and friends - and also hone my writing skills for future projects that i am considering upon my return. wish me luck everybody!!! and i hope that i am interesting enough for you to tune in!! ;) xxx... full info
