Introduction to my Plans of Escape

Travelling has always been one of my great passions, visiting countries, experiencing new culture and meeting new people. I brush on it occasionally in my blog (Here) but never really go into much detail. So I have decided to create this blog, imposing upon the travelling writers of the internet with my most excellent (In teh words of Bill and Ted) tales of adventure and plans of prosperity.

My only hope is that with the help of my readers, possible sponsors and gratefully received donations I will be able to afford to visit countries as far flung as Australia. After each journey I will give full accounts of my travels, the people I met and the places I saw.

Two Week Europe Road trip - Preperation Begins!

So the route has been decided, the car is in working order, and yet now the real ordeal begins, what will we need and what should we take?

Based on last years road trip I can forget things this year such as rucksack, walking boots, campstove and tent. Instead I should begin to focus much more on things such as snacks, blankets, beach towels and tow rope.

But the mere act of preparing for this road trip has sparked that longing for adventure in me, I get itchy feet, I want to move to do things, to see new places and to explore other cultures. My mind races over the possibilities of the people we will meet, the stories they will tell and the unknown that we will discover.

I am still looking forward to the day when I can leave the working world behind and just wander.
