We both had a rough-ish night even though the wind had died down, expected since it was our first night in new digs. I was up at 7:30am to a bright sun and a light breeze. Sheldan showed no sign of rising so I went off for a run to get myself nice and warm…

Friday 5th January – Tent Camping Like a Bitch
There’s a reason I don’t make plans. This blog was supposed to be about the start of a journey from the west coast of Australia to the east in a bright yellow car. Instead, it’s about a small road trip around the south west corner of Perth in a car with about as much character…
The Cost of Van Life
I’ve been nomadic for over a year, since 8th September 2016. In that time, I managed to spend nine solid months travelling in the Astro, ten months if you include my initial border run to Canada, which was really a test trip. The other time was spent faffing around in Germany then having some quality…
Tuesday 3rd October – Home.
I woke up just as early as Mum, around 7am and I was ready to get up and clear the cold symptoms from my body with a hot shower. I had an extended session under the scalding water and felt much better for it. Mum was off for her walk and so I joined her….
Monday 2nd October – Mummy!
5:30am we got up and I had a quick shower before we packed it up and went down to the lobby. While Dad checked out I gave my ticket to the concierge and they gave me Scottie and my bags. We managed to fit all that into the back of the bus as well as…
Sunday 1st October – Race Day
We were up at 8am again since we’d both had enough sleep and I was feeling less than ordinary and Dad wasn’t much better. I searched through my belongings for some suitable drugs and when I couldn’t find any, Dad provided since he never travels without half a pharmacy of cold and flu medicine. I…
Saturday 30th September – F1 for my Birthday
Dad was the first to get up at 8am and I followed soon after. After a shower, he surprised me with a hug for my birthday, something that had pretty much slipped my mind. I was excited to see F1 cars for the first time in nearly a year as my present. We caught the…
Friday 29th September – Daddy!
There’s no Thursday on purpose since I didn’t experience any of it. At the end of my 13 hour flight to Taipei, it was Friday morning. I’d managed to get a decent amount of sleep making the flight go relatively quickly and the dinner and breakfast they served up was enough to tide me over…
Wednesday 27th September – Goodbye America
Shit scared. They’re the words that entered my head when I woke before my alarm. How was I going to be without Dan for months on end? When he woke, after I said good morning, I just said, “shit.” He knew exactly what I meant. My alarm went off and we didn’t muck around, having…
Tuesday 26th September – Near Death Experience
I was the snoozy one this morning despite the fact that Dan had been up until past midnight watching a TV series with me asleep on his torso. The wine from last night had got me tipsy and it made me want to sleep in a little. With no hunger pains from my tummy there…
