Highway Trek - May 2008

An Invitation

May 22nd 2008 03:05

Me, Western Australia (2006)

Time is a strange thing. Example? Well, now I sit here, writing this post, whereas in but a scant seventeen days I will be off on the greatest adventure of my life. I’ve know this for a long time now (except ofcourse, it was eighteen days yesterday), and yet I shall not feel the full force of it until I leave.

Let’s take a few steps back shall we? My name is Joshua Elliot and I am sixteen years old. For almost half a year now I have been planning a trip around the world. This trip has gone through many phases – first it was a plan to travel for two years around Europe and the America’s, and then I come into remembrance of that which haunts every traveller – I had no money.
So, after working for a year and a half, saving as much as I possibly could, and significantly shortening the lifespan of my trip, I’ve cut myself down to a six month jaunt first to South Africa and Zambia before heading to America and Canada. I leave on the eight of June, and return on the fifteenth of December. What happens in between is a mystery.
I invite you all, here and now, to join me on my adventure.
