After being
rudely ejected from America I returned to the UK and found a job at the end of
a long and strenuous search. Rather awesomely, the job doesn’t start until
September 2014, so I decided to continue my continental drift and booked a trip
to Australia. I will be Down Under for about five months, travelling around and
trying to work for money or accommodation. The plan is not to have too much of
a plan, but I hope to really get a feel of what life is like in Australia as
well as doing typical tourist/backpacker activities. Given that I will be
travelling alone for a long time, and without an itinerary, I was both excited
and nervous in the run up to departure day. Would it be an odyssey of non-stop
thrills and brilliant companionship? Or will the result be loneliness and a
colossal loss of money? Either way it should make for some entertaining blog
posts.
The purpose
of this blog is threefold:
- To keep a record of the adventure
- To keep those interested informed of what I’m up to
- To improve my writing skills.
I plan on
updating the blog whenever I have internet access and something worth writing
about.
Before I
start putting the Ali in Australia, I will be stopping over in Hong Kong for
six days, where I hope to attend a Hong Kong First Division football match and
take on the locals at table tennis…

The start of my journey. Well actually it would
be a further two hours until my departure and I would leave the driveway in a car
rather than on foot.
