That was one of the most frequently asked questions when I told people that I was giving up my job, taking 12 months off and heading off traveling….that as well as “are you having a midlife crisis?”

I hadn’t given a blog much thought. I guess I just thought that I’d post amusing quips and insights on Twitter and smug selfies on Facebook. On further reflection however I realised I’m actually not very good at on the fly social media postings so maybe a blog was a good idea.

So here it is my initial attempt to keep you up to date with where I’m at, what’s going on as well as providing a written record for myself. I’ll try to keep it short and to the point, having spent 14 years writing Powerpoint decks I’m thinking bullet lists might be a good idea? Something like the below perhaps?

Friday 26^th December, 21:00

Location: Gate H8 KUL Malaysia, waiting for delayed flight MH0796 to BKK Thailand

Doing what: Listening to Jake White Lazaretto, typing up ideas for my blog and reading Chuck Palahnick’s ‘Beautiful You’

Feeling: Weary and slightly concerned that the grey looking chicken noodle soup probably wasn’t the best choice for a pre-flight snack
