experiences

So as I get ready for my trip to New Zealand, I am reminded of my last trip. The experiences I had were some of the greatest of my life so far.

I remember when I first got to England and my taxi got lost on the way to the pub I was suppose to be working and living in. Then once we finally found it a co-worker and I had to lug my two suitcases up 5 flights of stairs, that was fun. -.- Did I mention they were 50 pounds each. (No I didn't pack light, but I was going for a year, I thought I would need a lot of stuff!)

Once I got to my room, I opened the door to find it was roughly the size of a closet. At that very moment I realized exactly what I had done and where I was. It never actually hit me until then.
And then add the jetlag and I was about ready to lug my bags back down the stairs and catch the next flight back home. I'm lucky I had such good people living with me in the pub, they really helped me at that time.
And boy am I glad I didn't leave, I would not have missed that year for the world.

the beginning

So my love of travel really began when i was a kid. I would fly back and forth between my Mother's and my Father's place every summer.

My Father really loved to travel, I know he still would like to see a few more countries. My Mother though, she was only ever fascinated with one place, Scotland, and she was, I am happy to report, able to make it there and fullfill her dream. I also took a little time to travel up there as well, it is gorgeous!

So I guess you could say travel is in my blood, even though I'm the first hardcore traveler in my family at the moment.

I started to really focus on traveling as something i wanted to do for the rest of my life, when I decided to go to England for a year. It opened my eyes to exactly what traveling was and what it could be. I had never been so exstatic in my entire life, then I was that one year in Europe.
Everything changed from then on out. I looked at things differently, I looked at my life differently.
And it actually all started when I decided not to go back to University. That's the true beginning of this story.

Travel is my life

Very first entry of my very first blog!

This will be, hopefully, a blog full of of my adventures and interesting stories about my travels.
So far I've lived in London and traveled a bit around Europe. I've also been to many places here in Canada. Traveling is the one thing I am truly passionate about. I hope I never stop.

So I will be discussing my last travel adventure and my current plans to travel to New Zealand and Australia and hopefully afterwards Asia.

I am also open to any advice any of you might have about traveling or places that I should see.
If you have any information you would like to share about the countries I am going to I will be all ears.

Time to Travel..
