🇭🇰 Having far too much fun to be writing/posting these in real-time... a few words and photos from our week in Hong Kong, almost a month ago! ✈️

The start of my next adventure was to be an ‘extended layover’ in the sprawling metropolis of Hong Kong. Here, we would spend a week before getting our next flight to India. I wasn’t too sure what …

Second leg of our Italian roadtrip featuring the sketchiest of drives to the Amalfi coast from Abruzzo; these two months have flown by since returning!

A tentative voice says “Ben?” as Hannah and I sit down on the Alilaguna boat that will take us from Venetian island to Venetian island. I turn around to find James Haggarty, an old school friend, w…

I doubt the England fans who travelled up to Scotland this weekend racked up as many calamities as we did on our trip to the Euros last year...

Read about our disaster-ridden trip down to Marseille below:

I’ve just bought all the tickets I can for the Euro’s mate, I’ve got all the England group games and a couple of the knockouts. Want one? was probably the best text I got in the w…

Just over 6 months; 16 countries - 14 of them new to me, 6 flights, 35 boats, pushing 1,500 hours on buses and a few hitchhikes. The Americas.

Back to where this trip all began, Canada (Follow link for video). Excited for Iceland tomorrow - anyone got any recommendations for Reykjavik city?

On every trip, there is a time when the dream suddenly becomes reality. On this one, the start of a huge roadtrip from Vancouver to Buenos Aires, it didn’t kick in for a while. Despite buying…
