Sundays

2010-08-29T03:25:00.000-07:00

Not much going on on sunday eh? Probably the only day of the week I'll be relaxin. Actually getting hooked on this blog thing also! It's quite fun & all the comments make it feel really rewarding.

Seeing you guys like commenting, why don't you give me some advise on where to go on my roadtrip. Especially places in scandinavia (norway, finland & sweden mostly) because thats what I'm looking forward to the most!

Anyway, thanks again for reading & keep bloggin, I really enjoy reading the blogs!

Finances

2010-08-28T09:33:00.000-07:00

I just thought over my finances a bit, it seems I might have enough money for a road trip around april next year. Which is rather convenient seeing the weather is a lot better in Europe by then. Also, if I file in my tax returns by that time I'll get my money somewhere around June, which is hopefully in the middle of my roadtrip!

A little summary of my situation;
monthly income: ~€600
Monthly expenses: ~€100 (living @ your parent's is a pre :D)
Months till april: 7
500 x 7 = 3500
cost of getting a driver's license: €1500
Trusty 'ol Bus for roadtrippin purposes: €3000 (/2, cos there's a mate coming with me :D)

So I guess my pocket money is around €500 Eh, I'm gonna need some extra income fast!
But I guess I'll manage, right?!

I sure hope so...

Daily things

Wow, I just got out of work 4 hours ago and going home, showering, eating & checking up on all my followers took me quite long! So yeah, since I worked 12 hours today I'll just check up on a few of the new awesome blogs. I apologize in advance for not being able to keep up to you guys, but my life is just that busy :S

Anyway, I guess I'll make up to you guys this weekend seeing I actually have *some* time on my hand next sunday.

Transport!

Just found my ideal method of transport :D

VW "hippie" bus

If anyone knows someone selling a bus like this for a nice price please let me know!

As long as it's driveable (after some minor repairs) and not full of shit =P

Oh, and living in holland (Belgium/Germany is good too) would be a pro, heh.
