[Q & A]

Answers to the most commonly asked questions;

What do you fell like in the morning waking up in a different place every day?
Strange thing but it feels normal. I guess because I have been doing it so long and this is the way I live my life now. Sometimes it's exciting because I am looking forward to exploring the place...sometimes.

How do you decide what to do what when you are up?
The travel guidebook gives me ideas, travellers do as well as tourist offices and the like. Sometimes I just love to walk around and see what happens; usually the most exciting discoveries are when I find it by accident.

Do you sleep much or are you just bursting with energy everyday?
(except when you've got he shits)
NO! Travelling can be very tiring and I try and get a good 8 hours sleep every night. But that varies depending on where I am and who I meet. When I am alone then I sleep well, which tends to be often.

I mean not having to get up and go to work everyday, hanging out for the weekend, what does that feel like?
Brilliant. I can't imagine doing anything else, really! I feel myself really flowing with life, instead of fighting it. It's such a wonderful feeling, something I have never experienced before. If it doesn't feel right then I am doing something wrong. I hope this understanding will remain when I stop travelling.


And do you think you will be able to go back into the day to day routine after your travelling comes to an end?
I heard from many people that it's really difficult... One day that will have to happen ofcourse. At the moment I have a real dilemma to know what is home for me...sometimes it frightens me a little as I don't have an idea what or where I will be in the future. Thus I like to travel if only because I don't know what else to do right now!

Also is it possible to post any pictures on the net?
With great difficulty thus I haven't done it. Sorry.

How long will you travel?
I will forfeit my last flights, which expire and the end of this year and travel south East Asia at my own pace. My money is holding out well and now I can travel on 1/3 of the costs than previously, as Asia is so much cheaper. I guess I will stop when I am either sick of it or out of money...atleast another 6 months I reckon.

Am I every lonely?
Yes! I miss my family and friends. I have had a difficult week because I felt just empty and like there was no warmth in my world. I was homesick and wanted to be with people I cared about, not people I just met. It comes and goes in waves but when it hits it is hard and unexpected. I guess after being on the road for 9 months its quite normal.

Where will I end up after my travels?
Good question; thinking about teaching English in the capital city of either Korea or Japan

Favourite and least favourite country?
Turkey is just fantastic! Dubai and the United Arab Emirates can be missed...

Will you write about your adventures?
Yes. I realise that I enjoy writing and I keep my diary always upto date, I am now on my fourth book. I have had many positive comments about my web postings (thankyou!) and thus I plan to write a book using my diary as material. Stay tuned....
