Quitting work to travel the world – One year on

It's been one amazing year, but the journey isn't over yet.

James Reviews The Views – Tasmania

A few things to note that applies to all my Australia reviews which I'd like to start with: The price of beer is rediculous! A standard beer ranges between $10-$15 (£5-£8) and most of the time thats only for a schooner 425ml). Accomadation... so far we've stayed in: AirBnB's, hostel's, campervans, rented flats and crashed at friends places. There's benefit and drawback to each of these, but there are plenty of different options to fit all budgets and itineries. Personally if I was to do it all again, I'd buy my own campervan. Australia is huge, not far from the size of USA. But while USA has the population of around 327 million, Australias' population is only  25 million. That means there's a lot of unpopulated space on this huge island.

James Reviews The Views – Singapore

This will be a short, sharp series of blog posts. For each of the locations we visit I will give a to-the-point, no-nonsense assessment of the city/town/village. I really hope this will be helpful to anyone who is planning a trip to these locations so please share this with anyone it may help. We'd love...
