If you asked me whether I’m a lazy person the answer would probably be yes. I’ve always seen work as a bit of an inconvenience and my life’s goal is to find a way to pretty much not work. At the moment I’m working hard (if you can call teaching around 22 hours a week hard) to save enough to travel for around 3 years and sometimes people ask me why. I usually give the same answer: it’s a socially acceptable way to not have a job. If I stayed in New Zealand for 3 years and just sat around and watched TV people would abuse me for it, but since I’m travelling I’m suddenly doing something worthwhile and respectable. Of course that isn’t the only reason I want to travel, in fact it’s pretty far down the list, but not working for 3 years really does excite me.

Starting a Travel Blog: Why and How!
Why I’m Starting a Travel Blog
I am probably the last person you would expect to be starting a travel blog. My Facebook activity over the past five years has consisted of a few photos and the obligatory ‘thanks for the birthday wishes’ post once a year. I’m not someone who feels the need to share every small detail, or come to think of it any details at all with the world. I’m starting this blog because I enjoy writing and I have a terrible memory, so I better document this journey in case I forget it all! It is mainly to entertain myself, but hopefully I can give my potentially tiny audience a taste of the travelling life and maybe inspire some people along the way.
