So the travel agent got back to me today. Couldn't match my quote of $280 from iTrek and offered $400 as their best price. However they then tried to scare me with a $250 administration fee, saying that if a third party insurer ever contacted them for documentation/information, then I would be slugged with this ridiculous fee. Being the resourceful person that I am, I promptly emailed iTrek about this issue, and they said that wouldn't need to contact the travel agent if I had photocopies of my tickets. Dodgy travel agent trying to scare me into purchasing my insurance from them. Simply dodgy.
In other news, Macquarie Uni got back to me about their org psych program, and unfortunately they wouldn't be conducting Skype interviews. Looks like my only option now for org psych is UNSW. No pressure.
HBL signing out.
A simple blog detailing the exploits of a solo traveller trying to make the most of his time travelling the globe.
This blog started out as a recollection of my trip around Europe in 2010-11. That trip was inspired by the thought of a reunion with my cousins. However, being the busy adults they were, in the midsts of discussions, they were forced to drop out. Now where did that leave me? Did I still want to go it alone, when that was the issue that had stopped me from travelling all those other times? Seeing their situation, I knew I didn't want to look back and wish that I had travelled when I had the time. So on that rare stroke of decisiveness, I bought my ticket, just in case I reconsidered (which I usually did). And that's all there is to it. This blog is to document the worldly travels of Hayden as he explores the unknown.
Mission: To have the most amazing time seeing the world whilst I'm still young enough to not care so much about the future.
