Some notes about this travel blog
Travel Blog Content	Travel Blog journals are not always live as they happen. I want to document in writing & photography what's happening to me, and this journey as a whole. I don't have access to 24/7 internet, nor work behind a stationary media desk. And, when I do get online it's not all about writing here. Twitter/X is a good place to see my live updates. I have to factor many things into this journey, as such, time and finances to process photos, locate internet, upload and write on the road is prioritized. I do it whenever I can, and as fast as I can. Please take that into account.
	You might find this Travel Blog a little different to most. A search like this is not a picnic. Nor a wild travel party. A lot of what goes on here, is the raw reality of life. Lots more in my about section. If I have not written anything here or updated my status on twitter/x in over two weeks, then someone might like to call the police in said country. I joke not.
	If you have met me en route, please don't take offense if your name is not mentioned in my travel blog/journal. As mentioned it started off as a personal journal and will hopefully continue on like that. I change names and don't make personal references as I've seen people take offense in the past. If it happens here, then I will have to take the journal/blog off public viewing.
Photographs, Text & Copyright	Full resolution photographs are available for sales, prints or for free depending on intended usage. Please get in touch for further details. All images and text are copyright protected. For further information please read my copyright statement
Sign up to my free travel journal updates	A full length RSS feed is available to all, BUT I'd really recommend my free email subscription instead! My email subscription gives you a whole lot more: my photo book, back-story details not published here. It's all completely free, and a great way to travel along with me and stay up to date.
