3 weeks to go!

It's been a while since I've updated this blog and alot has happened since my last entry.

I moved to Hobart and worked there for 10 months, got a little restless/homesick after spending such a long time in one spot so moved back to Brisbane. 2 weeks later I decided it was time for more great adventures so I updated my CV and sent it in to TDA. That was more than half a year ago.

In 3 more weeks (7th of Jan 2011) I will be jumping on a plane and heading back to Africa to do it all again - this time working as the tour medic. I am excited about the new challenges this will bring and excited about going back to the TDA lifestyle where you ride your bike all day, camp everynight, and live out of a truck. Doesn't matter what you look like, doesn't matter if you smell a little - no one else has had a shower recently either!

Leave without pay has been approved from work so I will *hopefully* have a job to come back to at the end of May. People at work ask me where I am going and I don't know how many people I have told about TDA and I think a lot of them think I'm pretty crazy but I tell them I've done it before and as long as you keep your head on strong that will help with the long days in the saddle. The medic part and tour support is all new and exciting though.

The Army Reserves are happy for me to start working with them when I return at the end of May too so that will be something new and exciting waiting for me to get back.

Time to sleep now, off for waterskiing/wakeskating in the morning if the weather behaves :)
