Dear NatGeo:
The accompanying photo is called 'travel mediocrity' because it features me standing in front of an impressive, albeit highly dull, old structure. It sums up my travels in life thus far - rather pretty and quaint, but so lacking in adventure or excitement that it could legally be marketed as a tranquilizer. The time has come for a change, NatGeo! I need some thrills and proper exotica now (I've just graduated from university) before I settle into the rat race. Here's hoping you pick me to go to South Africa and give me some stories to tell before I have to buy a Volvo and wear a suit for the rest of my life...
