Hello everyone, as most of you know my family was devastated by the loss of my brother last weekend. We have spent many hours together since that time and After many hours of soul searching I have decided to pick up my trip in Moscow tomorrow. I said my own goodbyes to my big brother today and am confident that he would have wanted me to go. He has supported me all of my life and I know him well enough to know what he would want. I am sad that I won't be ther...

So, tomorrow is my last day at work until 1st August!! Didn't think I would need so many nights leaving nights out but they have been fun! Was lucky enough to get an iPad mini to take on my travels so feeling pretty chuffed. Need to add some people to my contact list to see if this works as I even have my dad signed up for email so that he can keep in touch!

Counting down the days now and thought I would set up a blog for my family and friends to keep up to date with my travels. Lots to do yet, but this is one thing off the list :)
