Hello!

Found this site after about a week of trawling through backpacking type websites and there's so much here I'm dead pleased!

I'm going into my last year of uni (on a course that in retrospect, I shouldn't really be doing... oh well I'm headed for a first anyway! ) and in June of next year will be getting on my bike and going! although the details are still a little sketchy...

I'm going to have a good look through past threads before asking any big questions to see if it's been said before but I'll just say a few things now to say hello -

Currently riding an SV650s - I don't think it's well suited to what I want to do, I think I'll be after more of a dual sport for some off road so that needs investigating.

Not got a solid idea of where yet either, though Europe/Russia/Iceland seems likely. Aiming for a large chunk of the world before I'm twenty five though (turn twenty one in November)

Need to learn more about how to finance this kinda thing, been dreaming of travel since I was a kid so the longer I can go without breaks the better... but got student debt to contend with... don't plan on living in the UK after uni. In fact I can say that whatever happens I will not be living in the UK, if I'm going to be poor anyway I'm gonna make sure I'm at least poor where I want to be...

So that's about it!

Hope to speak to you all pretty soon, I'm gonna get some reading done!
