S'up folks! I'm aware that no-one is actually reading this blog at the moment, and certainly won't be until we leave for the trip, but in the interests of posterity I feel the time is right for a pre-trip update! Since my last post, the adventure certainly seems much closer. I am currently carrying strains of Hepatitis, Typhoid, and Diptheria to name just a few, with plenty vaccinations to come. Need to book in Yellow Fever which is going to cost £40+. After a cost/risk analysis, I have decided to ignore the advice of medical professionals and go without Rabies vaccinations. I figure if any rabid dog wants to bite me, Ill just kick it in the face before it gets the chance. After-all as a westerner, I am invincible and can't possibly be affected by ... read more

Hi! This is my first entry on TravelBlogs! Just a bit of a tester to get the hang of it. Anyway, I have booked my RTW flight ticket along with my mate Paul, who I will be travelling with. Looks like we will be leaving on Feb 7th next year. We have until November 27th to pay the tickets off, then we will really have to try and cram in as much spending money as we can. As things stand I think I should be fine to pay the flight ticket off (about £1400) as I am working 2 jobs. However my only slight concern is that we/I may fall slightly short in terms of spending money for the trip. I work in sales, so if I do well and earn lots of commission, hopefully it ... read more

I have dreamt of this trip now since I was a child, Landrover s publicity team did a great job of persuading me that 4x4 s and adventure in exoctic far out countries went together. I knew one day I would be facing this challenge head on and that all my paths, destiny if you like pointed me in this direction. The strength of desire has come and gone over the years alas my nemisis has remained this trip. For ten years now I have been able to do this trip and twice now it has been cancelled, once over Goerge W Bushe s over reaction to the trade centre bombings and once over a over reaction to my plannned exersion believing that we were meant for greater things together I turned around and came home. ... read more

Hey Guys, Im afraid this is a bit more of a soppy and personal one, soz! Firstly, thanks guys for the great b-day/leaving bash. I had a fantastic time (which im pretty sure that you all may have noticed) and i was extremely plastered (just for a change, he he). Everyone keeps asking me if you guys were drunk and if you all had a good time and to be honest i ain't got a clue, but hey i was and i enjoyed it :o). Im glad that you all could make it (even though it took ages to get here) im really grateful. Im so blessed to have such fun and INTERESTING (as you can see from later pics) people as my friends. You all mean something to me in your own special little ways ... read more

Hiya all, To anyone who reads this that does'nt know me i will just give you a quick fill in. Im Michelle and im just about to set off on my adventure to the other side of the world to sunny Australia. I am 24 and i have just graduated from university with a degree in Fine Art. I wasnt quite sure on what i wanted to do as a career and with no boyfriend to marry i decided to go on an adventure to bide me some time. I've always fancied going to Australia and being an Artist i have been interested in the culture of new places. I have lived in England all my life so nothing interesting to report there im afraid. I have never backpacked before so this for me is a ... read more
