In November 2011 I had an accident. It was a silly mistake that nearly cost me my life. After 9 months in hospital followed by a lot of rehabilitation I have made a good recovery. I’m well enough to travel now, and I am setting off on an adventure.
In about 6 weeks I will see my sister in Abu Dhabi. I don’t know how I am getting there yet, but I intend to make the most of the next 6 weeks.
I’m traveling light. A back pack with some clothes, my passport, a camera and a diary… and when I return to Melbourne in a month or so… it will be a new start.

Hi Uncle Mark and Johan!!! woohoooo…SIngapore my old home! Gee I miss that place! So jealous you guys are going to Bali after this!! Please if you do visit Ubud, go check out Radiantly Alive yoga studio on Jalan Jembawan,opposite Bali Buddha…the school I went to for my yoga teacher training. I challenge the both of you to attend just one yoga class! And it has to be a Radiantly Alive vinyasa class!!! And then tell me all about it!! hahahaha
Very exciting for you Johan. You can show Uncle Mark that he is not the only one to have great adventures . Looking forward to regular updates – don’t forget to add photos. Uncle Mark has to do something. Play safe.
Have a great time guys, hope you have a fabulous time, looking forward to following your journey, what a great thing to do.
Bon voyage Jo Han and Mark. I am more than a little envious actually. Re mountains en route….you will be going close to Mt Bromo and Mt Semeru as you start travelling W through Java. Spectacular, active volcanoes and an easy starter. You can get a little mountain horse to do most of the work. (stay in the village the night before and get an early pre-sunrise start). In the meantime, please enjoy some Bali warmth and a tasty nasi campur. Best wishes Dave
Thanks Dave. Intend to do Bromo
hi Johan my boy, it must be an exciting and memorable adventure for you and Mark. Enjoy yourself and take lots of picture to share with us.
It should be an eye opening experience and sweet memory you’ll remember for long long time!
Waiting to see your first adventure photo on this site.
Take care !
Would love to join you both but are currently up in the pilbara so will keep a look in when i can get Internet coverage
Missing you guys already, very quiet and no gin rummey at night. cuddle up with the boys and catch up some reading . Johan I only miss one putt my last round though I only get 33 points., very confident i will crack it the next few round. Do you prefer extreme hot or extreme cold weather? I know which one I prefer.

Hi Jo Han,

Enjoy!!
Good luck guys. Safe journey and exciting adventures. Come home smiling:)

What a life that I wish I can come along, well some one in this household has to guard the fort and look after our two king pins Tiger and Oscar. This adventure is a good testing ground for your ability to overcome obstacles, problem solving, planning and co-ordinating skill and on top of all this you get to see some places you haven’t seen.
Just think of us here in the cold while you boys are having fun.
Have a safe journey and look after Uncle Mark along the way. Stop him from buying smokes and more importantly stop him from smoking. Challenge him!!!!!
Mum
All the best Johan and Uncle mark!!! Looking forward to seeing you soon in Abu Dhabi doooooo!!
Have a great journey. Look forward to following you from afar.
Wishing you both safe travel!
