View the First Blog - Where the Adventure Begins
Here I am, August 19, 2008, 22 years old and I've traveled to 35+ countries. I've literally been around the world in a jet and traveled all through Central and South America on my motorcycle. I've lived with a friend in Switzerland, had a flat in Scotland (twice), and lived at a home-stay in Argentina. And now as I write I'm getting another motorcycle ready to ship to Australia to do a round the world tour - Oz to Europe via Asia.
