So I've decided to document the next year or so of my life with a blog; mainly with the idea in mind that as I scuttle across the world, my friends and family can see what I'm doing as and when they like - and so I don't miss out or forget any of the interesting or little bits.
The right words can transform whatever and whoever they touch. Words are powerful. They hurt and they heal, they show you things in a completely different light.
I'm not sure where that's from - one day I read it, and I scribbled it on a bit of paper, and it's now in a frame on my mantelpiece. Not that I'm trying to say this blog will do any of those things, but these are my words and my way of sharing my experiences with you all. So welcome to what I hope will be an interesting read for you all!
