If you are reading this, I feel it fair to assume that you at least have contemplated travelling, or perhaps are even embarking upon your own journey as we speak, either that, or you are one of my unfortunate friends or relatives who are being force fed my opinions against your will. Regardless, I intend for this travelogue or travel blog, to provide an insight into my experiences. I do not expect it to be a definitive or even effective "guide"; there is too much of this stuff out there already, and I don’t profess to be anything of an expert or sage, rather, I am the opposite - a first time traveler with little or no knowledge.
Therefore, I intend this to be merely a piece of writing that you may hopefully find entertaining, one which I confess may be completely biased and self indulgent. That's the whole point. I leave with only the myriad advice of guide-books and friends, all of which seems to be contradictory and diverse to the extent that currently rather than prepared, I feel confused and unsure, excited but apprehensive. I’m either about to do the best or maybe worse thing I have ever done. I don't know how it will turn out and neither do you. However, throughout the course of my trip I intend to keep this journal updated so you can travel with me and just as I do - figure out just what the hell it is that's going on - and maybe even end up a little knowledgeable or at least full of new experience.
