Better late than never….

Right. I think it’s about DAMN time I started writing some stuff. We’ve been overseas for 18 days, have visited 6 different cities (7 if you include Lagos – but we won’t talk about Lagos right now); and I have about 800 photos to go through and decide which ones are best left for my private stash, and those of which I’d like to share with the world… Continue reading →

People always put off travelling for many reasons –  whether it be a weekend away, or a gap year across the other side of the world. I think a lot of people thought we were crazy when we told them what we planned on doing. The amount of times people told me I was brave, or that they wished they could do the same, was surprising.

At the end of the day though – I need to remind myself why I decided to start doing this.

It’s for me. I’m starting a blog for myself as a way to record this experience and look back on it in years to come.
