Current Goal

This TB was released in honour of nephew Thom,
born on the 30th of June 2005, who will hopefully love travelling as much as we do when he grows up. This TB's first mission is to visit all continents in 5 years' time. Photos accompanying its travels will be greatly appreciated as we want to show Thom all kinds of exciting places in the world to go to when he grows up. A new mission will be picked on Thom's birthday in 2010, when this TB will hopefully have reached Europe, the continent where Thom was born.
We are starting this TB off in Canada, the country we have come to love and would like our nephew to visit first on his World Wide Tour somewhen.
