Christmas is fast approaching. On the 20th December I left my job of 6 1/2 years at Lostock College ready to commence my year of travel. What an emotional time, but I feel truly blessed for all the experience and memories I have gained from my time there. Now as everyone is getting mad busy with Christmas, buying and wrapping presents I am frantically trying to get organisned for travels, vaccinations, travel insurance, mobile phone, flight tickets I think i'm almost there. Just haven't quite come to terms with how little I can pack in my backpack yet!! That's going to be fun!

Just over a week to go, Christmas, New Year an then I'm off. I good mix of excitement and fear at the moment, not long now!
