I am slowly moving towards a September travel target.

My new housemate moved in on Monday, he will be looking after my house, my dog, and all my worldly possessions while I travel the world. I am charging him rent, of course.

I applied for my UK Youth Mobility Visa the other day, and they already deducted the fees from my credit card. I made a blanket booking at the consulate office for July. I will try and reschedule, July seems so far away.

I went to the library, and found two books on how to create a WordPress blog. I need any help I can get with CMS, web design, and time management.

My work came to me with great news about reshuffling the team around, and possibility for promotion and career development. On a side note, its always funny how things start to fall in place (too little, too late) when you’ve gone ahead and made other plans.

I’m a little disappointed I missed out on the $250 Air Asia X sale from Perth -> KL -> London. But, I managed to find reasonably priced tickets for September. I haven’t booked yet, I want to make sure I get the visa first.

I’ve been researching accomodation and tours for Ibiza and Oktoberfest; after a long 6 months of training and not drinking, I am looking forwards to the possibility of kicking off the trip with some partying. I just hope that by the time I get the news on the visa, I haven’t missed out on accomodation options completely.

I hope to post more about each of the things I’ve mentioned here, as I start to formulate more of a plan.

It all sounds exciting Ian. I'm so glad you went for the youth mobility visa and have that all ready. I'd be spewing to if I missed out on that flight- how cheap is that? I never made it to Ibiza but I definitely recommend Oktoberfest. It is mad party. There are so many tours that leave from London.. You should be able to get on one of these fairly easy. It's a great way to do it, especially if you just want to go their for the party as the tour companies take care of everything, leaving you to just take care of the drinking.
