Me, Em and a few close friends knew this trip was a test. It was a test for me. To find out more about myself. Having never really travelled (other than a few package holidays in my youth) and being a home bird, I had considered myself as someone who didn’t really like travel and wasn’t bothered about holidays, my main focus was routine and sticking with what I know. These self-imposed labels sat with me for years, until I met Em, who loves to travel and loves an adventure. We had talked about adventures and travel and talking is fine but it is also fantasy, what about when it came to moving from fantasy to reality? I needed to discover if I really was a homebird or if I had a hidden hunger for travel and adventure somewhere within me. This is what this trip was for, to answer that question.
