HobNob adventures South of the Equator.
At the ripe old age of 35, it was just the right time to jack in the 9-5 (well 8.30 - 5.30 but that doesn`t scan so well) and go see some of the world. So South America bound I am for 7 months and then to New Zealand and Australia in the New Year. Join me please, I hope you like..
