Tarit's Trip!
 
As you may know, I've recently got back from a year-long round-the-world trip.  If any of you are thinking of doing such a trip I would definitely recommend it!  If you need any encouragement, just read on!

What were my plans?

Before I set out I bought my round-the-world air ticket.  This was really good value and included 12 flights.  The main problem was that it is only valid for one year!  Also the destinations are fixed, but the dates can be changed within that year.

Where did I go?  What did I do?

While I was travelling I sent occasional e-mails to my friends to keep them up to date.  You can read them all (with all their typos and other mistakes now corrected!) from here.  But I must warn you I got a bit carried away as I went along, and my e-mails got longer and longer.  People tell me they did make entertaining reading though.  I will try to add some of my photos soon, as soon as I get hold of a scanner.
