Hello and welcome to the official record of Simon and Mel's Excellent Adventure 2018, aka Gap Year 2.0: Revenge of the Gap Year.
If, for reasons known only to yourself, you want to read about my first Gap Year way back in 2011, when I was dumber than I am now (if you can believe it) then you may do so here:

It's pretty funny if you're into the same sort of humour as nineteen year old boys.
However, hopefully you're here to read about my new travels. I mean, honestly, if that's not why you're here, you should probably just go ahead and stop reading now. Grab a coffee. Take a nap. Watch an award-winning drama. Or, if you're really bored, you can keep going I suppose.
So here's the rundown. The day after tomorrow we're headed to Heathrow and thence to New Zealand, for approximately four months of frivolous fun time gallivanting around 8 different countries (plus stopover). I intend to post here semi-regularly, about things we've done and seen (which you should be jealous of), and what I thought about it (which you probably shouldn't care about). There may, if you're very lucky, even be the occasional picture.
Speaking of pictures, I have decided to undertake a self-inflicted Selfie Challenge (it's a challenge because I dislike taking selfies). This will involve me taking exactly one selfie every day. I'm going to make one attempt, and then post that, even if it's just half my forehead and the sky, because frankly I can't be arsed to do much more than that. Hopefully those will end up on here as well as on facebook, although (as always) I make no promises. Also I should probably point out that although I will be taking them every day, they will only get posted when I have free internet.
Well. That seems like enough caveats for one pointless introductory post.
Happy travels my friends :)
