Perth, Australia

I’m gonna try to keep this blog simple so I can actually stick to updating it. So, here’s what I’ve got:

• 12 months off work

• A one way ticket to Porto Alegre, Brazil

• A couple of concert tickets (Jack White in Porto Alegre, and Lollapalooza in São Paulo)

• The 4 Day Inca Trail & Huayna Picchu trek booked for late August

The rough plan is to travel around South & Central America until this time next year. The rest I’ll make up as I go. I spent much more time rolling up and packing my clothes meticulously into my Osprey Porter 46L, which will be used as my check-in luggage.

It surprisingly fit all of this in, probably with room for a little more if I wanted to push it. If anyone’s interested, I’ll go into more detail as to what I’ve packed.

Well, now that the 30 plus hours of flying are over, it’s time to go and murder the hotel breakfast!
