It is upon me. This journey of a lifetime will be one of the most thought provoking experiences I will put myself through, and to those who visit this page and follow me in spirit, thank you. The posts will most certainly be few and far between, but if they effectively convey a fraction of what I am to experience, they will have fulfilled their objective.
I will be leaving the green isle on Tuesday, 28th of August, and touching down in (hopefully sunny) Rome, Italy. After a whirlwind tour (Pompeii, Venice, Milan), September 3rd will see me flying to Athens, where the few days of scorching heat will give me a taster of what I will be enduring for the following four months.
To all who have been in my world for the three and a half years away from home, I wish you the best. Look up, smile, shine, and watch this space.
