Hey, if you plan is to travel just do it, and while you do it try to get deep into the places you visit.
I've travelled but not enough, and I've never been in Australia. Not yet.
Be strong, be smart. There are many difficulties on the road but also you'll find good persons.
So try to enjoy and learn from everything.

I share you a shoot a took some days ago from a place thousand kilometers away feom where you are.
