watch out Iona

We are leaving Fort Augustus. Got a job on Hebrides and we're going to stay there till June and then - finally, finally - hitch hiking through Europe to my home country. Don't know how long it's gonna take or what's gonna happen on the road or where we're going to get the necessary finances but - it doesn't really matter, because we can do it! And that's all that matters. We can do anything we want because it's our world and our rules.

And dreams are meant to be brought to fruition.

Some ideas for getting money on the road and before going:

• sell all my unnecessary items on eBay or something like that
• claim back tax and NI contributions
• take money instead of holiday
• work, work, work
• save up
• buy mascots and let people take pictures of us with their children or something like that..basically busking
• buy cold beer and ice cream, a cooler and sell them on beaches
• monetize my blog..hahhaha ..you never know maybe it's actually working..my last option tho..but thinking about setting up my beer fund with the money
• eehmm..please any suggestions more than welcome

Things to do (definitely) before going:

• claim back tax and NI contributions
• buy a camera. Have to get myself mentally prepared for a tiny compact camera and dream on about a new SLR. That's gonna hurt but I think I can do that
• get a proper travel insurance
