…amazed at the world

Welcome to my travel blog!

This online space chronicles my journeys to different parts of the world. This site was created for friends and family to keep track of my journey, and for me to document everything for future reference and joyful reminiscence.

The latest adventure is a round the world tour that will take me to 20 countries and many more cities in between. Commencing on May 3, 2009, and starting from Perth, Australia, this journey focuses on Europe and Latin America, with side trips to the United States and Australia.

You can navigate the blog by clicking on the Journal link on the right sidebar.

Enjoy!

hey jem!

awesome itinerary. crazy. but i’d love to do something like that one day. :) when i get enough money to travel south america.

anyways i’d be in london and paris in the last 2 weeks of june so if you happen to be there, let me know! i’d be taking road trips around england and the wine regions around paris. :)

and just to add: for switzerland, i’d suggest interlaken and luzern, instead of the 2 big cities you’re heading. interlaken is this amazingly beautiful small town nestled between the alps. luzern is slightly more touristy but has not lost its beauty. my friends who did exchange in switzerland told me there’s nothing much in geneva and zurich itself.

i’d suggest road trips out of florence into the wine region called chianti, and the small charming italian towns. hokay if you need info just FB, twitter (i just followed you) or email me. and photos of these places are on my FB. :)

so exciting. please take good care and enjoy yourself!

hey!

i’ll be in madrid for six weeks so unlikely that i can meet you in june.

for switzerland, i’m heading to geneva only because easyjet connects me there from barcelona. from there i have a eurail pass that i’ll be using to do some day trips before heading to zurich (to visit mario and toby – the swiss guys in hall 7). i’ll take your advice and see if i can plan a day trip to interlaken or luzern. its the same place as lausanne, no? by a different name?

yup will be heading to chianti’s wineries when in florence. thanks for the advice!

hey hope you’re well on your way! :)

haha yes i remember mario and toby. it seems like eons ago to me, and to hear those names again! :)

i think lausanne is a different town. from interlaken you can take the train up to jungfraujoch, which features the stunning glaciers of the swiss alps and the highest train station in the world. quite a unique experience going up a huge mountain 4000m up on a steam train. on the way up there’re 2 small charming towns which you absolutely must visit ‘cos its so uniquely swiss, rather than the big cities of zurich and geneva. they are lauterbrunnen and grindewald.

haha sorry i get excited when i talk about travels. :)
