Where to start?!?!

Like any other blog this blog relates a story but unlike others it's relates my own! I've been living in the UK for 2 and a half years. But this wasn't enough; Malta was my springboard and now I'm turning UK into a vault. I plan to travel the world - one of my biggest dreams in life - and I can't wait to start :)
My first destination is Africa, precisely Tanzania. Why? well, had to start from somewhere, of course! Best route around the world is clockwise or anti-clockwise, travel experts and agents had told me. Fair enough makes flying sense! If you want to do Africa, well then, that's a continent you would have to tackle on its own.

Mmmm...couldn't help missing out on that big piece of land eh?! So, decided to go there first.

Giving up on the idea of travelling overland crossing from one country to another, I settled on the idea of sticking to one place. But where?
The answer came soon enough in the form of my dear friend Maria! Meeting her on Xmas eve last year over lunch she told be all about her exciting upcoming challenge; climbing Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. With hardly any second thoughts I just decided to do just that and go just there. Yeah, why not? Beautiful country; safaris, beaches and mingle with the local tribes and people by helping out as a voluntary, perhaps too?!!? But why climb Kili? I think I thought it would be something different to do, honestly until it turned into something of a personal challenge and then why not discover Tanzania's mega beauty spot!I booked myself with one of African Travel Resource's teams and in no time discovered every contour of my muscles (aaghh!!) as I became a gym junkie! I started walking at the weekends and in no time increased time and distance. Every weekend Beacon Hill in Hampshire became the shrine of my pilgrimage. I walked from home across Berkshire and went up and down the 260m with quite-a-steep gradient hill a few times before walking back home again, covering a total distance of about 22 miles in a day.
