Can't quite believe I'm in oz land! It's a strange thought knowing I have never been as far away from home as I am now. Though somehow the flight time has made me realise that it's actually a pretty small world after all, and in no more than 24 hours you could be anywhere you want to be... I arrived the morning of the 19th to Melbourne Airport. Could tell I was a teensy bit tired as I attempted to brush my teeth without taking the brush cover off and a variety ...

Before I started travelling, people told me that when it rained in hot countries it would be a short sharp shower and the the hot weather would dry you almost immediately. To all the lovely people who told me this.... Apparently in Singapore, this isn't the case! Had a failed attempt at getting up early yesterday but I got to Singapore Zoo by lunchtime, at which point the heavens completely opened and continued to flood the area for a good couple of hours!!

'March 15th' has never been a particularly special or significant day for me, however I feel like today this may change. I've already learn...

Rewind back a few years from now and for some unknown reason I had this crazy idea to travel the world alone for months on end with nothing but what I was carrying behind me.
