"Let me show you the world in my eyes!" littlebush's Profile

Hi, and welcome to my homepage! I hope that you will find my pages useful to pick up tips for your own travels. As well as finding VT useful to pick up tips and chat about travel, I like to use it as a personal record to keep photos, travel info' and travel journals. All (well, most of) my pages are based on budget travel, so if you're into backpacking...read on........
(Please note that some of my pages were written 10 years ago when i was new to travelling and i think as a person you change and so your travelling 'style' changes, so some of my pages may not reflect how i feel today)

It all really started in September 2000 when I set off on my first Round the World backpacking trip. I intended to go away for around 18 months or more. I had 2 working holiday visas, one for Australia, one for New Zealand. However, being the lazy bugger that I am, I ended up not working at all, wasting 2 visas and only being away for 10 months! Since then though, I've got 'the bug' and travel has now become an obsession!
After that RTW trip, I had the bug, and travelled around europe on cheap low cost airlines with nearly a weekend away every month(Good old Ryanair!).
At the end of 2002, I'd saved up again, wasn't enjoying my job and so jacked in the job and set off to Africa for 2 months for a totally awesome experience, which only made my 'bug' stronger!

2002 and 2003 were awesome travel years, going away 12 times each year, but 2004 was a study year and so only went away 4 times. 2005 was one of the best years ever with trips to New Zealand, Thailand, and Morocco and plenty of cheap quick Europeans getaways in between. 2006 was superb-a trip to Vietnam & Bangkok, a few weekends away plus Germay for the World Cup for 3 weeks in a campervan - superb.
I didn't go long haul for the first time in years in 2007, but had 12 trips away, the highlights being Moscow, Bulgaria and the Baltics.
2008 was a busy year (No long haul again which is disappointing) visiting my Bulgaria apartments twice, city breaks to Berlin, Belfast and Barcelona, the Cologne carnival and a trip to Belarus, plus a mini adventure through northern central europe before flying off to Malta. The year finally ended with a week in the Canaries.
2009 wasnt quite so busy but i managed a 17 day backpacking trip around the Balkans plus some weekend trips to new countries.

2010 was great, I went to cyprus for several days, plus a few visits to moscow and the big trip was to south africa for the world cup, which was great and my first long haul for 4 years! I then went on a great trip from Croatia through to Bulgaria. Awesome.

2011 started out to be my worst year of travelling since i started, mainly because i found it hard to get away from work having started a new secondment with work in Newcastle. However, it ended up to be an awesome year, with a trip to Israel and Jordan, Cuba and finally Xmas in Gambia.

2012 was a year to never forget. What with the Euros in Ukraine, and the Olympics as well as the Jubilee in London. I also got married. Trips included Jersey, Macedonia, Albania, Bucharest, Chisinau, Kiev, Greek islands, Moscow, Tunisia, and a multiple city break through central Europe.

2013 already plans to be huge, with trips to Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, Bruges and Australia booked. Also booked is a trip to Georgia and Armenia, the last 2 countries for me to visit in Europe.

Nowadays, I often find myself staring at a map of the world and just dreaming of a new route or the next trip.

I'm a qualified accountant, which sounds boring and to be honest isn't the most exciting job to tell people but theres 3 main reasons why I do this job (I work to live not live to work!):

1 - It pays well so I can save to travel,
2 - So i can eimgrate to another country.
3 - It'll give me the skills to run my own business one day.

St Basils, Moscow, Russia

As for me as a person, Im very laid back...love my adventure activites..but my life really evolves around travelling! I just cant say no to a cheap flight or an offer to get away! I love to meet people so I'm happy to meet any willing VT members either in London or when I'm travelling...get in touch!

Now I'm qualified, I plan to have some big holidays every year, to far flung places!

The Highs and Lows of Backpacking

Heres a few words for anyone considering going on their first backpacking trip:

The hardest part of any long backpacking trip is making the decision to go! A lot of people talk about doing it, but never end up doing it. Every person has different reasons why they want to go and everyone has different reasons stopping them from going. But, once the decision has been made to go, the adventure begins! Personally I dont think theres any buzz like the one you have when you walk out of the travel agents(or come off he phone) after booking it all up!

The best part of travelling is the people you meet, whether locals or fellow travellers. You can meet a set of complete strangers one morning from all corners of the globe and by that evening they are suddenly your best mates. You'll go out and have a few beers and chat about the places youve been and heading to. Back at the hostel, you'll play cards (nearly always '***head'!). You'll eat '5 minute super noodles' and drink a minging 4 litre cask of wine because it only cost a couple of bucks! You'll find that although you packed 10 t-shirts when you left home, you only wear 2 of them all week because you cant be bothered to wash them that regularly! You'll say you wont drink tonight as youve drunk every night for the past 3 weeks but know that by morning, you wont remember the night before! You'll end up getting a wrong bus at some point and find yourself asking someone who doesnt speak a word of your language where the hell you are and the only English that they will know will be 'Manchester Utd' or 'David Beckham'!....i could go on....but the big picture is...it an experience for which you'll have stories to tell for the rest of your life!
One day you can be on a deserted beach with crystal clear waters, the next in the middle of the bussle and noise of a big city. You are free to roam around at your own pace and make your own decisions about where and when you want to go. All you have to do is pick up the backpack and move onto the next place. You even forget which day of the week it is, who cares!

More recently, i've got into couch surfing (www.couchsurfing.com) and have found this such a great way to meet local people and to get to know the locla culture. Its a fantastic concept. My early years of travelling were about meeting other travellers, now I love to live like a local and really get into local life. In London in a regular at a weekly couch surf meet and have made some great friends through the site.

The worst part about the whole experience is coming home. Different people deal with it better than others, some are ready to see family and friends and settle back into their old routine happy with their adventurous memories. But some, have the Wanderlust,wishing they were still away and cant settle back into everyday life back in their homeland. After having so much freedom and living a completely different life, it can be very hard to adjust back into a 'routine'.....youve been warned!

A Few Tips for Backpackers

Tax Rebate (Maybe only UK) - This may seem like a bizarre tip but most people dont even realise it. If youre going away for some time and yout trip takes you from one tax year to the next (tax year end 5th April) then you will probably be due a rebate for the year you leave in. Get a form from your tax office and declare that you wont be working again in the current year and you should get a nice rebate. I left in September and got ?500, a real bonus when saving for a big trip!

Vietnam coastline

Check Bank Card Details - Again, if youre going away for a while, check the expiry dates on your cards. If theyre going to run out whilst away, get a new one before you go. Its a lot easier than your new one trying to find you on the other side of the world!
Things to Take :
- A sarong, takes up hardly any room and can be used on the beach, as a towel, as a sheet in bed, or even wear it (for girls, or David Beckham).
- Sleeping pills. Go tell your doctor youre scared of flying and he'll dish out a few pills. Keep them for long train/bus journeys! very useful!
- 'The ***s' tablets and a good first aid kit. Its surprising how much you wil need it!
- Spare passport photos. You may need some for visas.
- Flexible tickets. When boking tickets,try to get as flexible tickets as possible, trust me, your plans 'WILL' change.
- Don't plan too much, as above, your plans 'WILL' change!
- A journal. Write down all your memories, its easy to forget little things that when you read it back a few years later, will bring a smile to your face(or maybe a tear to the eye).
- All the usual things you'd have heard of but definately worth taking - pack of cards, a good book(for swapping), insurance!

Asleep yet!?

I often get asked whats my favourite country. I find this impossible to understand as i have loved every single border ive crossed and got something from every single trip. Experiencing every country culture is part of the reason i do it. But if you pushed i'd have a few favourites for different reasons. New Zealand for its all round beauty, followed closely by Iceland. Mozambique for its rawness. Cook islands for desert island life. Israel for culture and sight seeing in a compact space. The Balkans for history and rural beauty. But then there's just stand out places within countries that are so memorable, such as Lake Bled, Santorini, Sardinia, Lake Como, Lake Ohrid, just to name a few....

-Gulliano Grazzioli scoring Stevenage Boro's equaliser against Premiership giants, Newcastle Utd in the FA cup 4th round - 1998

-Jonny Wilkinson scoring a last minute drop goal to beat Australia on their own turf to win the Rugby World cup final (I wasn't actually there for this one but the feeling when that ball when over was just as good!) - 2003
-Michael Owen scoring in the 92nd minute to beat Argentina 3-2 in a friendly match in Gevena (Although only a friendly, it felt like we'd won the world cup that night - true rivalry!) - 2005
-Joel Byroms goal for Stevenage against Kidderminster in April 2010 to seal the Championship and send us into the football league.
-John Mousinho's goal at Old Trafford to send Stevenage into league one in the play off final of 2011.

This is where my homepage gets its title from (I'm a Depeche Mode fan!)

"Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
We won't need a map, believe me
Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is
Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in the motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is
Let me show you the world in my eyes"
(Depeche Mode, Violator,1991
