It was a hell of an adventure but now it’s done a year travelling the world, what more could a girl ask for?

The trip started in Central America, with some Spanish lessons, before travelling much of this part of the world and then up through Mexico to the USA.  After a short trip back home for the Commonwealth Games, we went back to the US then onto Europe and Morocco before coming home via China, Korea, India, Nepal and Thailand!!
