I'm taking up the Skype Nomad challenge to travel non-stop around the globe. Over 33 days I'll be using as many different forms of transport possible for a girl - from jumbo jets to dog sleds, canoes to camels, sky diving to revolving restaurants... Definitely not what I though I'd be doing 6 months ago.

So watch this space for my escapades, encounters, films, pics, highs and lows from my adventures in China, Alaska, Australia, USA, Europe and the UK. I'll be sending it all for free using the gadgets Skype has given me.

It's all for a good cause - the charity Motivation which helps provide ways for disabled kids to get around.

The trip. A message from Skype

Take one fabulously confident Australian girl, add a hectic itinerary, a whole range of different gadgets that mean you can use Skype on the move and there you have it - the Skype Nomad.

We want to show that Skype is now mobile - that’s why Rebecca is touring the world for us non-stop. You can instant message and talk to her using Skype to keep her company while she’s on the road. If you can’t get in touch with her, she’s probably at 30,000 ft on a plane, on a boat in the middle of a swamp, hurtling along on a train without WiFi or just on the toilet and doesn’t want to be bothered. In which case, you can keep track of what Rebecca is up to and how she’s using Skype on this blog. Follow the Nomad.
