this weeks anthem

jealousy, turning saints into the sea
swimming through sick lullabies
choking on your alibi
but it's just the price i pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
cause i'm mr brightside
(mr brightside - the killers)


not for any particular reason but this is the soudtrack in my head this week

i wonder what the soundtrack for seville or new delhi or any other place will be?

todays question
to bring my guitar or leave it behind

on the plus side
music is good company
entertainment
might be able to busk and earn a few quid
i'll look cool

on the minus side
im not very good at the guitar
it's awkward to carry

this requires thought
and practise

to do list

whats done:
decision to go
blog set up

whats to do:
everything else


i think a plan needs to be put in place..
.... or a list!!.... everybody needs a good list

ok so lets start a list.
what does one need t ohead off around the world for an indefinite time and to destinations unknown?

i think this is going to be a long list

suggestions?

Intro from the boy

how does one start?
basically this is a story of an adventure, well the story of the story behind what will become the adventure.. (you see ? simple!)

the girl and the boy have decided to take on the world.
but the difference is that this is around the world in a real and not in the conventional sense of 6 months travelling the beaches of thailand followed by 6 months working in a bar in sydney. this is about living the world.

there is no time limit, no final destination, no rules.

we will head off only with the goal to live in all the places we've read and dreamed about, to meet the people who make the world, to work in the jobs that make us smile as well as the crap ones just for the cash.

i suppose if you were to be lame about it you would call it a voyage and not a trip but the fact is i don't care what it's called and i doubt the girl does either.

as of yet we have no departure date but it's more than likely january 2006 so until then this blog will be a mixed bag.

it'll be a story of planning, of the decisions we have to make and why we make them. it'll be the story of our fears and insecurities and of the excitment that we're feeling.

it'll be two peoples story of not how to do it but how they're doing it

i won't promise much except that it'll be honest and updated regularly..
oh yeah and there won't be capital letters.

anyway that's the intro from the boy

i hope you enjoy the adventure
