Travel & Living: Keep Discovering

Tired of watching people who get paid to travel the world in style?

Swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas, motoring journalists driving the latest Ferrari along the Amalfi Coast, etc. It's a million miles from reality given that your leave has not been approved for the past 3 months and fuel surcharges higher than airfares mean that you have to settle for a weekend in Batu Pahat.

If you feel like flinging Floyd far into the Adriatic (I can't spell Meditereanean) as you shovel instant noodles into your tired face because it's 9pm and you just got home from work and there's nothing left in the fridge, this is the blog for you!

I don't exactly know what you will find in these virtual pages - some travel tips, industry gossip, perhaps even a holiday review. But what's important is this is real world travel - dragging your suitcase (which you discover is missing a wheel when you pick it up from the carousel) across cobblestoned streets at 2am because the later flight was $20 cheaper, trying to find the supposedly 4 star hotel you booked on the internet at 2 star rates .

There may even be a test drive of a 2 year old beige Toyota Corolla and some quick home cooking suggestions. Think of it as Conde Nast meets Fast Track meets Holidays in a War Zone, Vroom Vroom meets Top Gear, Naked Chef meets Ready, Steady, Cook meets Survivorman. It's elements of all that...just far worse.

So fasten your seatbelts, sit back and brace yourself for the big journey that is life itself.

Keep Discovering, Travelling and Living.
