where I've been

When I lived in London I had a huge map of Europe on my wall and I would often lie in bed planning where to next...

So when I found out that amazingly clever workmates got me a subscription to the National Geographic magazine, and with that came a world map, I was super excited! Now I can dream of not just Europe, but Africa and Asia and South America... 

Places I've been - so many places to go still!

My map is now located next to my desk on the wall just under my two degrees (soon to be three - thesis countdown is 225 days). Whilst I'm not married or have a house or kids, or even full ownership of a pet, I feel like the more dots I've got the more I've achieved. 

The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page - St Augustine
