When i was younger i wanted to spin the globe, stop it with my finger and start my journey there. Now since money is a factor, i'm starting close to home and working my way around. :)
From the jungles in Indiana Jones to Surfing and Skydiving like Keanu in Point Break, watching Casey Stoner win a Moto GP in Europe and drinking $1 Coronas on the beach at sunset in Mexico coast after a day of surfing, I just had to go and check it out for myself. After an earlier attempt at saving enough cash to go, i put my head down over the last year and a half, and did whatever it took to save enough money to just go.
For over 12 months i was flying over 5000km's a week to work in a remote part of Australia. The temperatures reached well over 40 degrees most days in summer and after working 12 hour days, the last thing I felt like doing was exercise.
My "Fly out day" is July 20 2012 where i spend just over a week in Bali to begin my world trip.
As of today 18 Jan 2012 there is 185 days to go!!
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!
