This is an account of my nine month round-the world trip. It has been assembled from emails that I sent to my father, merged with some emails that my travelling companion Rachel sent at the same time. I hope you enjoy!

I apologise for the spelling errors. Mostly in the heat of the moment and whilst using dodgy keyboards. Some are due to my own ignorance. I cringe at them now, post-University, but I shall leave you with the account as I wrote it
