'Work to live' is the credo, so I saved up enough cash and went wandering again in early 2006. This time it was 2 months in South East Asia and 1 month in the Sahara, including a solar eclipse. Now that I'm back, I hope to keep the blog fresh with whatever crosses my mind at the time. I hope you find h4ppy.com an interesting, and perhaps inspiring, read.

My previous year off in Africa, Cuba, Central Asia and the Middle East was the time of my life (see archived posts below for more). If anyone has a copy of the first email I sent back then (called 'Spike, Bob and Barney') I'd love to have a copy. My hard drive exploded, so I lost mine.

More info on the journey please Christian, a friend and I hope to travel this way in September this year. I take it the accomodation on board is not too good!
Dear Anonymous(!),
The accomodation is ok and you'll sleep as well as you can expect with the rickety-tap, rickety-tap of train wheels all night.
It's well worth taking the train for at least part of the journey down the coast. The view is great, it's comfortable enough and I heard some very negative tales from people that took the buses instead (theft from one person and one girl was hassled all night).
