Welcome to A Gonzo World Carnival!
It has been wonderful reading everyone's posts - I marvelled at the diversity of the locations, writing style and interpretation of the theme "share your world". Some funny, some heart- wrenching, some joyful and some downright frightening.
On our journey, we skip back and forth from Australia to the UK to the USA, to Austria to the Philippines and to South Africa. Along the way we meet many amazing people who open their doors and invite us in to their world.
A big thank you to all who submitted posts for the carnival. The Gonzo Blog Carnival Series is sponsored by For Your Success. Special thanks to Fear and Loathing - The Gonzo Papers.
Without further ado, let's get started....grab a coffee....or a beer...and prepare for the road ahead...
Remember when leaving comments to let people know you are visiting from the carnival ... Happy reading!!

It's been a long journey.
