If you're are a student that means a long hot summer ahead of you to pack a bag and hit the road. If you're working, type up your notice tonight and you too will have a long hot summer ahead of you to pack a bag and hit the road! I'm going to be back in London for the summer, then later this year I'll be following the old overland trail to Oz. any advice to the forum (please!). Many thanks to Izaskun and itziar for sending us Euskera for the Day12 phrasebook and we have new photos from Ethiopia from Martin Beek. The Day12 Project is an open, community travel site and we welcome contributions from whoever can find an internet connection. get in touch at info@day12.com.
See you on the beach.

| The Day12 Project? |
| Created by a group of travellers in order to stay in touch whilst on the road, Day12.com gives backpackers the chance to communicate in an environment that isn't informed by the sale of guidebooks, and has a strong social and environmental agenda. Our writers and photographers are travellers who submit their work to us through the site, so have a look at guide for contributors and give the benefit of your experience to those following in your footsteps. |
