Introducing:

So here it goes.

The challenge: see, experience, learn, breathe in as many people, countries and lifestyles as I possibly can.

The contestant: I, soon to be graduate, eager traveller, soon to be employed au-pair, ready to travel with just a ready mind and no baggage.

The experiment, should I succeed, is to become completely and total absorbed in the cultures I will be encountering.

After the pressure and stress of trying to become employed after graduating, after spending hundreds of pounds on travelling to interviews, after revising maths again for numerical reasoning tests, after learning reems of information about companies and then to receive the same incipidly polite rejection letter from every single employer, I came to the very good decision that I had had enough. Enough of the U.K. Enough of being turned down. Enough of feeling my chest tighten with the pressure. Enough of being puppeted into fighting others almost to the death for a job I don't even care about. I want out!!! I want out of this stuffy little island and being forced into a stuffy little office and being forced to be ambitious.

It just isn't me.

I want to learn new languages, try new food, meet new people, climb new mountains.

So that's what I'm doing.

This blog, for any who care to follow, will be a place where I hope to share my adventures and my experiences and hopefully some lovely pictures because I am very excited to be moving out of the country, and until I make it onto that plane and see the English channel pass by, I shall keep you enthralled (hopefully) with anything else I can think of that's interesting

Feel free to share any comments or thoughts.

Thank you for listening!
