http://johnoez.blogspot.com/ is the inspiration for me starting this journal for our travels. My brother landed in Amsterdam on NYE 2009/10 and gave some insights into his experiences, when he could find a computer that is. While I’ve become somewhat accustomed to being away from family though my life so far, I’ve rarely been very far from my brother at any time. And I’ve liked it like that. His writings have been very welcomed, and helped me to feel less uncomfortable about his being so far away.
My hope is this can be an open letter with my family, and my brother when we’re not in the same city. Not just as a “Yeah, still alive!” thing, but also a “I saw this thing…” and “What do you recon of…?” Facebook and other social network sites are good for a few things, but lacking when it comes to this kind of detail I think.
Also, while on work placement, I was asked to write a journal entry every day, I was told this was in part to document for myself any changes in attitude and outlook which may happen. I get the feeling this type of journal could be quite interesting for me now. I will be as frank as my brother in what I write.
