One Mans Odyssey

I will finish off by saying that I had an amazing year. There is a ton more travelling to be planned and as it comes to it this site will be updated again more frequently. Thanks to all my loyal readers it's been fun. For those that are interested I am considering developing an online guide for backpacking Australia. Keep your eyes peeled

Until Next Time,

Dan

I am alive, updates still to come:

Whitsundays Working

I will admit I have got lazy and the more things back up the harder it becomes to start again. Updates will be coming though…

For the past month orso I've been pretty rapped up in surviving and must admit this blog has been really neglected but it is time to get back on track. I figure the easiest way is to make several posts in chronological order which over the next few days will be added and bring you up to date. First one coming up now…

Dear Friend,

Australia. The location of your next adventure is set. Deciding that you want to go traveling and having a destination can be a really exciting time. I was there not so long back. I remember sitting at home in Sunny England dreaming of endless beaches and a chance to experience the Aussie Lifestyle. Regardless of the ideas you have You are expecting one hell of an experience.

Everything is not always smooth riding though and this is one guide that will help you get from where you are to Australia quickly and easily whilst avoiding the most common mistakes that new travellers make.

Did you know that when you arrive you may be taxed as much as 47%?

You don't have to pay that much! Inside I will tell you how to avoid paying this tax rate from the very first day you start to work.

Did you know it is possible to get your Australian Visa in less than 48 hours?

I will tell you where to apply to ensure you get your visa as quickly as possible.

With this guide you will be able to start your dream holiday without having to search through tons of websites and books with too much information that isn’t even relevant to you.

Inside you will find only the information you need to reach your dreams without the fluff or hype telling you how to spend your holiday.

Good Luck Down Under,

Daniel McClure

Over the past days and week I have been planning a developing a complete guide for anybody planning on heading down under. This contains information on how to do all the important bits and to make sure that you make it across to the life of your dreams quickly and easily.

The guide has been made from  information that I've acquired from actually being here and living the experience. There is some compiled information to ensure that this guide has everything you need to get from where you are now to Australia.

Information covers various topics including how to get an Australian visa, the best backpacker insurance guide and much more. Keep your eye on this space to sure you don't miss the guide as there first edition will only run in limited supply.

If you haven't already then sign up on the newsletter to the left to receive an update on when the guide will be available and the various ways that you can get your hands on it. If you are heading down under this is one you don't want to miss.

 You may have also noticed the Blogrush panel that has been added to the website. This has been added so you can easily find related blogs accross the 'Blogosphere". I have not had much experience with this but I thought I would trial it out for a while. You can let me know what you think on the contact page.

ATTENTION: If You Want a Successful Blog of Your Own then
You Must Read on…

 Well done, many people with their own blog are quite happy just keeping on at it and never really getting anywhere. You've shown your commitment to success by reading this. I am about to tell you the basis for these latest additions to my site and why…
You Need these tools for Success!

• Aweber - This is a great tool to build a mailing list and is what I use for the subscription service that you can see on this website. You can automatically update your readers or message them as often or as little as you like.

• BlogRush - You will enjoy more readers and they will be getting more from your blog.
  The beauty of this little tool is that you do two things:
  • Supply your readers with more information than you can personaly provide.
  • The BlogRush tool will literally be driving readers to your blog from other blogs. 

Once you have added both of these to your blog you will begin to notice more people visiting your blog. The more people that visit your blog, the more readers coming back to you, the more you have coming back and using blogrush, the more people will visit and this will
create a very positive cycle. Even if nothing else make sure you take advantage of these two opportunities now and your blog will grow faster than you had ever thought possible.

Happy Blogging!
