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.

Time to start getting excited...

It's a bit over 15 hours until I'm Europe-bound. Can't believe it's come so soon. It seems like so long ago when I was still stressing about the thesis and my post-grad options. Now I can finally relax and enjoy my holiday. Although at the moment, I am nowhere near relaxed. Just realised that I haven't printed my most current itinerary, and when I tried to do so, I found that my printer was out of ink. I've also forgot to let Centrelink know that I'm leaving the country. So I'll have to call them at 8 tomorrow morning (I think I'm boarding at 8:30 lol). In terms of packing, I think I have everything. But I guess as long as I have my passport and itinerary, then it's all good. Everything else can be bought over in Europe. And even now, it still hasn't sunk in that I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Had coffee with Jimmy today, and he told me all about the things he did in Europe when he just went. Sounded bloody amazing. That's gonna be me soon lol. Anyways, I guess I need to double-check everything to make sure I don't forget anything. This time tomorrow, I'll be in South Korea on my overnight stay!!
