For my family and friends you know who I am and have heard the long version, but for new readers here is a little about myself...
I am a 21 year old fashion student going on an 8 month trip around Africa and South America. I will graduate from Ryerson University in Toronto in June and when I leave for my grand trip I will be 22. I was born in London, England and I lived in Kingston Upon Thames until I was 9. My family moved to Ottawa, Ontario and is currently where I am living. I have some ideas of what I want to do now that I'm done but I'm hoping this 8 month trip will enlighten me even more. Traveling has been a big part of my life and I caught the bug early!This blog will serve as a diary of my journey, a way of letting my parents sleep, helping me remember what I have done (as many know is difficult for me) and to explore the fashions of the places that I will visit. This is going to be a travel blog with a focus on style, fashion and culture.
Now for the best part! THE ITINERARY!!
I leave for Cape Town, South Africa July 9th to meet up with my tour group with Oasis Overland. We will be driving to Cairo, Egypt in a great adventure truck, while camping along the way. The truck carries up to 25 fellow explorers but the average is around 20 people per truck. Instead of listing off the 12 countries in Africa and the 7 countries in South America, here are maps of the trip itineraries:
All my shots are in and most of the necessities have been bought. I can't wait to start, but there is still a lot to do before I go, including a trip to China in 6 days with my family and a trip to England to stay with my sister on June 14th along with insurance, packing and a passport renewal!
