Some photos of my travels the last few months
I decided to add a personal category to the blog so that the site has a much needed personal touch - damn thats cheesy!!!
Don’t worry - i wont be blasting you with personal problems and complaints but i will occasionally put a pic up showing you what ive been doing whilst ive been away from the pc. This post is being published on the day i go travelling around New Zealand for 3 weeks so when i get back i should have some good pics of that too 
If you’ve read my about page you’ll know that I’ve been away from home for about 6 months now - ahh the beauty of being self employed through the internet! After this 3 week round trip of NZ im saving my pennies for a 2 months trip around South America! Thank you Mr TimeStamp!
Since i told everyone yesterday to make sure they enjoy themselves away from the laptop i thought it would be appropriate to post a couple of pics of my travels in the last few months.
Enjoy
The Photos
Thailand November/December 06
Notice my pink eyes - About 15 people at the bungalows caught conjunctivitis from the pool the day before. A few days after this pic it looked like i had two black eyes!
Another boring day carpooling to the office!
Scenic view from Koh Samui
Drinking vodka buckets on the beach in koh phan nan
Singapore December 06
On Sentosa Island in Singapore. It was around this time that i realised that although i had 6 t shirts with me travelling, this t shirt was in about 75% of the pics!
Australia December 06 / January 07
The coolest pose ever on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
Surfing : Listening to what we should do
Surfing : This is gonna be easy!
Surfing : Failing miserably on one of my first attempts!
Surfing : On the second day i was better than Patrick Swazye in Point Break
Sydney : Climbing the Harbour Bridge
Sydney : Trying to act cool when the thing was shaking from side to side (it was 60km/h winds!)
Sailing the Whitsunday Islands
Camping on Fraser Island
New Zealand January April 07
Having a drink in the Auckland Ice Bar - you could even eat the glasses after you finished your drink!
Camping in North New Zealand
At the very top of new zealand - what a view!
On the chairlift after luging
heres some pics of me doing white water rafting on a grade 5 river. What a day that was!
Hope i havent bored you all to tears. Some of the pics arent great because i shrunk them down to 500 pixels
Ill post more pics in a few weeks (as long as there isn’t a public outcry after this post!!!)
thanks

I am extremely jealous, being a frequent traveller myself! Where did you do the white water rafting? River Valley?

Wow you went to Thailand!
Koh Samui is my mom’s hometown
and I used to live there when I was a kid (not that long, though)
I was born in Bangkok and spend most of my life here
Khon Thai (thai people) love Farang (foreigner, called for westerner only)
lol

Wow, really cool pictures man! It looks like you’ve been all over the place. Really nice to see the out of work blogger. Haha, livin the dream.
Anyways, I was just wondering, why do all you “Monetize Your Blog” authors have shaved hair? ShoeMoney, ProBlogger, John Chow (kind of ;)), and now you!
Haha,
Nice post,

alamster - i first went travelling 4 years ago and it was not too long after the bali bombing so we decided not to go (it was originally on our list of places to go)
CBB - ot was close to tauranga but we left from rotorua (which is where i am now)
nice from thailand - ive spent over 6 months in total in thailand. Ive stayed a few months in bangkok, 2 months in koh samui as well as chang mai, phuket, phi phi, krabi and kho pghan nan etc
love the place - its a country ill probably keep visiting til i die
matador - haha. well ive been doing it a few years. my hair started receding a little bit so i just thought stuff it and started skinning it. wish i did it years ago. it saves so much hassle!

Hey the pics add more personality to the site. Im sure we have a few boxes of Kleenex for the outcry! It’s good to see things you can accomplish while working on the internet!

Man! this trip gets better and better the more pics I see.
I love the carpool pic you have.
Koh Samui Rentals | June 4th, 2008 at 9:44 pm #
looks like your pic on samui was taken at the scenic viewpoint between lamai and chaweng. that has recently been remodelled and now sports a new “western” friendly parking/walking/photo-taking area that is well lit and modern. now it almost looks like they want people to stop there, and they do, as evidenced by the food carts that now gather there to hawk there goods to the tourists.

Nice not being tied down to an office, yeah? haha
Love the pics. Riding the elephants isn’t as easy as it looks. The way they walk always makes it feel like you’re going to fall off.
Looks like the kind of trip I’m hoping to get scheduled sometime next year. Well, except for that climbing the Harbour Bridge part. I don’t do heights
