Welcome to My Moving Overseas Blog

Me In Laos - "Peace Man"

In April 2006 I moved overseas to Turkey but in December 2007 I went travelling to South East Asia for about 7 months. To enable me to share my progress with friends and family I decided to write this blog about my trip.

I visited Thailand, Laos, Malaysia & Cambodia before returning to Turkey in July 2008. I'm now travelling again and am currently (December 2008) at a Yoga school in Mexico.
