What am I doing? Well I’m off on an adventure to see the world. The trip started in Dublin on the 8th of May 2008 and will hopefully take over a year. I’m travelling with my lovely self-proclaimed “gentleman adventurer”. Together we will be lost and confused in many countries, yahoo!!! I think the best way to see a city or village is to drop your pack and wander around. Then if I feel like it, take in some tourist stuff. Or just wander.

Who is This Sheryl Girl Anyway?

Well, I’m Sheryl, and I’m a Canadian girl who lived outside Toronto in a place called Mississauga. I’ve always wanted to see the world. From a young age my parents got me hooked on travel. Once you get travel in your blood, that’s it. So I’m a travel agent, or I was until I left on the journey. Who knows, maybe they’ll even take me back if I return.

What’s My Goal?

To see as many places in the world as I can. I wish I was independently wealthy and could afford to stay in every country a few months to learn languages and meet lots of locals. But what can you do? We need to keep moving or we’ll spend our trip lying on the beach.

Is There a Plan?

We have a few things in stone, everything else is just winging it. We left Toronto on the 7th of May, arrived in Dublin on the 8th. Our next arranged thing is a hotel in Paris on the 16th of October to catch a flight to Nairobi for the 17th of October. From Nairobi we have a two-month safari booked with Dragoman that finishes in Cape Town on the 13th of December. In Cape Town we’re staying with our friend Nicola’s family - mostly her Gran - until the 6th of January. After that, India, and that’s the end of the plan - I’m sure we’ll figure it out.
