Here we go…!

Well hello to the so far non existent perusers of my blog. Basically, right now I am just setting up and getting started so I thought I better give posting something a go so I am confident of being able to do it when I take off on my trip.

For anyone who doesn’t know I am about to take off on my dream trip to Cambodia. I traveled there for the first time in 2004 with my gorgeous mate Viv (hey Viv!) and was simply amazed by the people in this beautiful country. As I left I vowed to one day return and try to do my bit to contribute or help out this developing nation. So, here we are in 2008 and I take off to do just that on 23 February. First of all I’ll be doing a bit of travel in Northern Thailand and Laos; then off to visit Dad, Xuan and the new baby in early April and then hit Cambodia around week 2 of April. I start in my volunteer placement in a village named Phum Chhuk – 20kms out of Siem Reap – on 21 April. You can check out more about the placement here if you are interested!
