What’s next:

This time next month I shall be unemployed and somewhere in Spain, without a return ticket, and I cannot wait. I was planning to go to Australia in September this year and was thinking of going on a 2-3 week trip going from the north to the south of Italy before I go. It wasn’t too long before this turned into a Spain/Italy trip, then it got a little out of hand and now I’m intending on spending at least four months in Europe. I know that I’ll go through a lot of Spain and then fly into Italy, and despite having a route planned, I will probably end up deciding where I go the day before.

After this, I’m planning to get a Working Holiday Visa and go to Australia. I will probably have to top the bank back up before doing the Melbourne-Cairns route, luckily, as a chef I can probably/hopefully find a job easily. After this, I am thinking about a visit to New Zealand, but that’s a bit too far in the future to start plannng.

At the moment it seems as though I have a never ending list of things to do/sort out/phone up about. When I planned the Europe trip in June it seemed so far away, and now I know it won’t be long until I’m away.

Oslo

Part two of my trip was Oslo. For the first, and probably last time, I managed to get front row seats on the flight. I didn’t notice until I looked on my ticket whilst I was getting on the plane, only to realise that the flight was three quarters full, so I had to put my bag in the luggage compartment in row 8 then make my way back to row 1, trying to get past a lot of unimpressed Scandanavians who were boarding the flight. That was not fun.

So far in 2015…

It’s fair to say that 2015 is the year I’ve decided to start travelling.

dam

It started off last August, just before I started a new job when I booked myself a trip to New York. It’s fair to say I was far from in the best of moods, so I didn’t bother asking anyone if they wanted to join me. A few months later, I found out that I had been booked off work for a week at the end of January,so on a whim, I booked myself a trip to Berlin. A couple of weeks after that, I was talking to a friend about how we could do with a weekend away from work, and a trip to Amsterdam was booked.
