I've seriously got itchy feet at the moment. Serious urges to fuck off and get back on the travelling trail once again. Unfortunately just buying an apartment hasn't helped with the necessary fundage. Fortunately while I wait for yet another delayed departure date I’ve hopefully got Burning Man in Vegas lined up for later in the year. Anyone else off on their travels in the near future? Share the love…. Ohh and buy me this please... http://www.mafigeni.co.za/images/Accommodation/Barra%20Beach%20Bar.jpg |

I thought you meant you literally had itchy feet. Perhaps a bath would help?

3 months provisionally, my dad's best man has lived out there for years so lodging there for the first 3-4 weeks (Canberra) and see what happens, I'd like to move about the country a bit though. I say provisionally because the truth is if something came up job and accomadation wise then I've already decided thats where I'd stay, what with my Uni plans going rapidly downhill. Had a difficult few months and can't wait, we're off to Germany after our exams. Like I say mate, counting the days. Shitting it too.

You'll love it.
Are you heading off on your own or with mates?
The best time I had was on my own. I fucking loved it. Stay in the hostels cheap as monkey nuts and you'll meet new playmates every night and plenty of new meat especially in the mixed rooms!

On my own to Oz, 6 mates for Germany. I don't think I'll be into this meat scene though  |

Nice one.
My top tips would have to be…
Get yourself one of those youth hostel association card things
Steer clear of Aborigines, placid bunch but all fucking piss heads. Every damn one.
Don’t pick fruit and I’m not talking about the meat. Fucking back breaking

Pretty sure it's 18 but make sure in the cities you take ID as a lot of clubs will ID everyone as due course and no ID no getting in.

I assume a British driving license would hold up. Don't fancy risking my passport.

I risked the passport as I can't drive to save my life!
Not sure but can you get an International license if you have a British one? That should do you.

Yeah, you're right. Better look into that soon, it'll take months if the DVLA are anything to go by!

Make sure you take a photocopy of your passport as well in case you lose it. Will make your life 100 times easier if you do.

Word. Whats the state in Oz regarding smoking? Generally I'm all for this banning it but I'm becoming an increasingly social smoking smoker.

Few years since I was there but I think it's still as normal. Plus you can buy tabs from behind the bar in a lot of places so you don't get ripped to shit on machines.
