A Journey

I know this post is waaay over due...but better late then never right?  Okay...so here we go!

In 22 months, 691 days, 16,584 hours - however you want to put it -  I went to 8 countries, and travelled approximately 40,085 miles.  I spent about 500 hours in transit, stayed in 25 hostels and visited 105 cities and towns.  I jumped out of a plane, went caving caving, white water rafted, lived in a campervan that took me across the North Island in New Zealand,  ate the best burger in the world - The Ferg, drank rum, snorkeled and scubadived in the Great Barrier Reef, tried the tropical fruits of Fiji,  lived in the Outback, went croc spotting, drank goon, held a monkey, partied, drank beer,  hiked a volcano,  hiked a glacier, had my heart broken, drank vodka,  met amazing people, said goodbye to amazing people,  drank bourbon, fell in love, got married,  seen sunsets all over the world,  been back to my family roots. I had drinks out the front of the Sydney Opera House,  touched Ayers Rock, Been to the Vatican,  saw the Pope,  walked the streets of Athens,  been an onlooker outside of Buckingham Palace, drank from a waterfall in Fiji, said hello to Big Ben and put my feet in countless seas.   I tried Yorkshire pudding and loved it, partied, drank to many agwa bombs (the shot of Calypso), seen the biggest spiders,  lived in a donga, lived on an island, fed cockatoos,  befriended a kangaroo, ate kangaroo, and learned how to roll my cigarettes.  I can now say hello in 5 different languages and in 3 different English slangs (yes it is different all over), was introduced to Drag shows,  worked as a vampire, had an interesting body massage in Bali, drank Arak, taught Dan how to eat with chopsticks,  tried gluwhein for the first time and loved it, got bit by a cockatoo, licked a green ant (they taste like citrus),  ate ants (they were in my chips it wasn't on purpose),  burned off my hair,  shot a rifle out in the bush, drove on the left side of the road, freedom camped,  learned different cultures,  more partying, hiked, walked, slept, laughed, cried, drank, partied and...well,  I really can't put it all into words so I am hoping that this video will help put everything into a better perspective for you.
