Howdy all. So I'm sitting back really tired here but forcing myself to write a blog post before getting some sleep.

Howdy all. Well, as my trip draws closer I am starting to prepare for the packing by buying things I will need. I think that an action camera is a must these days, if only for the simple reason you can keep it in your pocket and pull it out whenever you need it. Although …
Howdy all. I have written before about times I had lost my s&%t when overseas, although it was a while ago now, and I thought today I’d reflect on keeping your cool because I think it’s important because when we travel we represent the country we come from and also, you don’t want to make …
