About UsI don't know if anyone will be interested in this bit but if you are, it's about me, Paul Roberts and how I came to start up Terrevista Trails. I'm not in the first flush of youth anymore - more grown up gapper than gap year. Mentally, I still feel like a teenager but physically that's just not the case anymore. I never had the chance to travel extensively when I was a teenager but now I'm in the lucky position where I can take 6 weeks holiday in one go every year and still have a job to come back to. My first big trip was 6 years ago courtesy of a Star Alliance RTW ticket and I crammed a lot into the 6 weeks the trip took. I went (in order) to Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Hanoi, Christchurch, Cook Islands, Los Angeles, San Francisco and then home. I got home tired, jet lagged, broke and aching to do it all again. I learned a lot from that trip - the main thing being that you can do as much research as you like, read as many Rough Guides or Lonely Planets as you can, plan to the nth degree but nothing, absolutely nothing, will prepare you for independant travel, especially in a 3rd world country. There is nothing to match experience. What else did I learn? Well, that travel takes more time than you'll ever realise - whole days can just evaporate while you fly, bus or train even modest distances. You need to be prepared for this and give yourself pleny of time. Did I learn anything else? Yep, lots of things but this isn't blog about my adventures. Maybe I'll start one up on my next trip, if nothing else it'll give me something to do during those long waits and subsequent journies. There are two other things I've learned travelling though; one, that there are an awful lot of folk, of all ages, out there doing the same thing; two, I still take too much stuff with me. |
