My girlfriend Averill and I have been working shit-kicking jobs for the past year with the aim of going on a big trip. Plans went through a few iterations; backpacking S.E. Asia, hitchhiking around Australia, hitchhiking around Australia with folding bicycles, until I decided to drop the pretense and convince her to do a fully-fledged continental bicycle tour. Surprisingly, Ave took little convincing - she's an adventurous little girl.
And now we're close to leaving. We have bicycles and camping gear, a bit of money and, in two weeks time, nowhere to live. Our lease expires on the September 14. We have organised to stay with Averill's parents until we leave. Our leave date will be determined by Averill's exam timetable, but it should fall somewhere between October 20 and November 4.
This blog will chronicle (sounds a bit epic, no?) our trip. Until we leave, I'm going to post some info regarding our plans and so forth, so if you happen to have any experience to offer us, please feel free to comment or send an email our way. Also, if you're planning a similar trip, or your trip overlaps somehow with our's, we would love to hear from you! Maybe we could meet up and maybe ride together for a stretch.
