It just hit me. This weekend. I was looking at my diary and I saw that we are now a mere SEVEN WEEKS away from the 1st of September! We’re leaving in 7 weeks! How incredible.

So now I am officially excited.

We’ve been working so hard to get everything done in time, that I haven’t really had a chance to think about the reality of what we’re about to do. I’ve been talking about it a lot – I was on Good Hope FM, Radio 2000 and SAfm in the last two weeks alone – but that was all about the idea of it, you know? Not about the actual trip.

We’re going around the world! It is so freaking exciting. So I’ve started prepping already – I sorted through all my jewellery and all my clothes this weekend, and I’ve put aside anything I don’t love. We’re going to have an (indoor) yard sale in a month of all the things we want to get rid of, and invite all our friends over to cart off our unwanted goods. I love doing stuff like that… I already feel more free and ready to take to the road.

Seven weeks! It’s just around the corner…
