Hi guys,

I've decided to try and keep a sort of video blog within this so I'll try and post those up for people who aren't quite as keen on reading my probably rather long posts but still want to know what I'm getting up to.
So here is the first one, as a bit of a preview. Not the best vid but hopefully they'll get better as I go.
For the record I filmed it at the weekend so I've now already half done the goodbye hugging thing. I also spent the weekend enjoying the Orkney Folk Festival - the other reason why I haven't posted it up until now.
Another post to follow soon :)

Welcome!

Hi everyone,
if you are deciding to spend just a little bit of your free time reading this blog then thank you very much - reward yourself with a cookie - from me to you! (Note: the purchase of cookies is not my responsibility, I provide the blog, you provide the cookies).
This blog will act as a bit of an insight into my travels (because it's much better than constantly posting long winded facebook statuses that people will just skim over. Here, hopefully, my long-winded-ness will be appreciated )
In time I'm going to write up notes from previous adventures which will also appear on here. The main upcoming story however will be based on my next adventure: Europe. 
I will be travelling the continent in a roughly anti-clockwise direction, working at helpx projects (www.helpx.net) and hitchhiking from place to place.
The trip will begin in June, so until then feel free to spread the word - Ciao!
