OK so here it is people, my final ever blog! I’m not actually heading home just yet, in fact I still haven’t booked a flight, but wanted to write it and say my goodbye’s and thank you’s before I jump on the big bird in the sky. I shall try not to overdose on the sentimentality and be too soppy but it’s a truly weird mixture of feelings as I sit here and try to sum up the last 703 days (a... Read Full Entry

Hi all, I'm Mike, a teacher from Wales and travelling plays a key role in my life.

The last one! It's just sinking in, you're on your way home at last! What can i say?

Home, James
Hey Buddy, great last blog and very fitting for you to start and finish alone. You certainly have grown (not literally!) and found a new talent in writing! Things have changed this end too, but you will fit back in like a glove and you are in a better place now to manage the stresses and strains of life than before you left. We are all looking forward to welcoming you home! Safe trip back! Rich xxx
