is an average guy who simply wants to see the world and share that excitement with others.

Back in March I vaguely outlined my travel plans, since then a bit has changed. All going to plan with work September ‘08 will be the month I leave. I’ve created a map giving a general idea of the parts of the world I want to travel to and how much but I don’t have [...]

The track is about 80km long (Depending on start/finish points and sidetracks). It is open all year round but in the walking [...]

I’ve been a member of a gym for over a year now and to say the least my attendance has been dismal. A couple of weeks ago I started taking my dog for a run at a nearby trail and I found it much easier to motivate myself to do that but I still had [...]
