Sorry, gone travelling.

In May 2011 I set off on a 7 month journey. With nothing but a backpack on my back, my best friend by my side and a return ticket to EUROPE... Needless to say it was by far the most amazing 7 months of my absolute life!!! Somehow I was motivated enough (and stupid enough) to keep a travel blog going through the whole adventure, and so now, with technology being as fabulous as it is, our story is now roughly preserved on this silly blog.

-A.A Milne

It's hard you know, saying goodbye to our family and friends, kissing our comfortable beds goodbye, waving a sad farewell to the lives we've called home for the last 18 years... But this is the adventure of travelling, right?

"Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again."

And it's 12 days until we leave.... AHHH

I'm not lying when I say that we've had to overcome some ridiculous speedhumps and hardships for this trip. We've battled travel agents who booked wrong flights, greek embassies who screwed us around with visas, slayed the dragons of unbooked flights, eurrail passes and travel insurance. We've had to dramatically alter our itinery three weeks before take off BUT we're finally getting hopeful THAT THIS WILL WORK OUT!

It's an unsettlting feeling to know that this time in two weeks we'll be in BANGKOK... Exciting, yes, but unsettling. I feel so freaking unprepared, like I'm going to forget something really, really, REALLY important.

I've started having to say goodbye to certain people lately, which is breaking my heart a little. I'm going to miss everyone so much, but thankfully I have Sarah, I couldn't do this trip alone.
