Test Blog

This blog will enable friends and family to keep in touch while I am away on exchange to Europe. The current plan is to travel via Malaysia, India, Iran, Iraq and Turkey.

The complication for my travels is recent ankle anthroscopy surgery following a ski accident earlier this year. I sit here in a moonboot getting cabin fever and hoping against hope the surgeon gives me the all clear. I will almost certainly be starting my travels in a moonboot hence the name of the blog , 'The World by Moonboot'.

Enjoy and feel free to leave comments.  I am just going to test the photo uploading function on this blog.  Here are a few pics from my 'summer' in Whistler BC

Arrived to find this...
