Not enough time for anything these days

Although everything seems all well and good - There’s always something not going your way. So learn to get over it and just keep on doing what you got to do. There has been so many times this year that when I think its all over and all given up - there seems to be new hope in the darkest of corners. I hope my coming adventure brings new light. My journey will begin in Tokyo, Japan followed by Berlin, Germany - hopefully venturing out into the rest of Europe. And finally ending in Hong Kong were i hope to discover my roots. There has been intense planning, organizing and trying to maximize my Aussie dollar. I’m bringing my bike over too. I hope that I without have to pay extra excess fees traveling on the plane. Trekking though the German country side would be really great – get away - take some time alone. Cheap too. // Just to add – im loving this bike by Fast boy.
