For photo hosting, there are a ton of free online imagehosting choices.

http://imageshack.us/  is the most popular one, easy to use, follow the
instructions

If you really want to document your adventure/journey, you can create a
website for free using google pages <http://pages.google.com/-/about.html>.
All you need is an email address (gmail account), and google lets you create
a google page for free. The best part is, they host it. I'm interested to
know what your findings reveal. good luck.

Now I can get back to my coffee waiting for my westfalia to be delivered.
