Here is a rough outline of where I plan to go – although as I’m expecting to wander off wherever I fancy my original plans will change – but this is my guide!

Im hoping to travel up and down the Sunshine Coast of Australia, sail from New Caledonia back to Aus, learn to scuba dive around the reefs of southern Thai islands, check out the temples of Cambodia, explore the Mekong delta in Vietnam, work my way up Vietnam from south to north, head into Laos and explore the jungles, mosie up the river to north Thailand and while away the rest of my time and money exploring the mountains…

At least, thats the plan… )

As it says above, my trip is in two main parts, firstly the Australian section, and then the SE Asian section!

Australian Section

After a 25 hour flight I’ll arrive in Australia on the 25th September, where my adventures will begin! Here is a map to show roughly where I’m headed. (Click to enlarge)

A 4,000+ mile adventure!

Highlights :

• Being a stereotypical backpacker )
• Sailing from New Caledonia to Bundaberg with Fiona and Chris
• Being a beach bum and trying my hand at some surfing
• Road-tripping up to Cairns to the rainforest
• Working for 3 months

Asian Section

Here is an outline of my route, which will hopefully take me through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos in around 3-4 months!

A 5,000+ mile adventure!

Highlights

• A 4-day scuba diving course around south Thai islands
• Angkor Wat Temples in Cambodia
• Exploring the Mekong Delta in Vietnam
• Exploring jungles, riding elephants and canoing in Laos

As you can see, this should be a lot of fun! (Lets just hope the funds hold out!) )
