My name is Gary, I’m 24 years old and I want to see the world. I work full-time as a Web Developer and in my spare time I play beardy games, hike and ride my motorbike.
This is Gen, she’s 22 years old and despite her being a little crazy, I love her to bits! Gen wants to see the world too or is at least doing a stand-up job of humouring me, either way she’ll be my co-adventurer and best friend on these trips.
On Saturday 3rd October 2009, Gen and I are planning on riding motorcycles to Torrevieja, Spain which is about 35 miles south of the City of Alicante and about 1,200 miles away from Bournemouth, UK our hometown.
Lots of people have done trips like this, lots of people have done trips much bigger than this, why do we need a website to talk about ours? The simple answer is that we don’t, but we sat down and talked about it and we both felt it was a good idea for a number of reasons:
- It’s an easy way for us to keep a diary of the things we’ve done and if possible help others who want to do them too.
- It’s a great way for us to keep in contact with our friends and families; we’re planning on updating whilst on the road so everybody will be able to see what we’re doing and make sure we’re ok.
- I make a living as a Web Developer and I wanted to explore design too, this project already had a theme and a design brief for me to work from.
Bournemouth – Torrevieja is hopefully the first of many adventures to come and if all goes to plan, there will be many more to follow, stick around!
