I’m writing this two months to the day that I first left from Alaska, crossing the sea of Cortez on my way to mainland Mexico. I left ten days ago from San Diago, fuelled on breakfast the American way (a huge stack of iHop pancakes and cream) that I was treated to from my awesome … More Beautiful Baja…The Gateway to Mexico

  Its been a month and a half but I’m already only 2 days away from crossing over the Mexican border. It started off as wet as a British summer but the weather has only became sunnier and warmer the further south I’ve travelled. America began where I left off in Canada; with strong winds … More The Pacific Coast Highway

Through Canada and now back in the US. Pick up the Journey from where I left off after The Cassiar Highway. More Canadian kindness, grizzly encounters, demanding journeys and miserable weather. … More Goodbye Canada! I will miss your people and your landscapes…not your weather

I had one last obstacle to overcome before I could safely say that the worst of the deserted roads were over for the foreseeable future. I’d be travelling down the Stewart Cassiar Highway (Highway 37), 718 km’s to the small town of Kitwanga, where I could be safe in the knowledge that from then on I’d … More The Stewart Cassiar Highway

Apologies for the delay in getting out posts, the internet has been hard to find at times. I’m now out of the wilderness and hopefully able to connect to the rest of the world a little easier now. When I left my last post I just entered the little know province of The Yukon. I … More Hello Canada! Welcome to the Yukon

I eventually landed into Anchorage at 10pm and was met by my incredible couchsurfng host ‘Dan’. He had come to pick me up from the airport and maybe unknowingly to him at the time, set the theme for this post that people are inherently awesome. Dan was incredible as a host. He was a wealth … More Alaska to The Yukon…Into the Wild

I’m writing this as I travel to the airport to begin the long journey south. 8 days at home have flown by and as always I will be leaving with a heavy heart. So many friends and family I didn’t have time to see, it’s been one of the most hectic weeks of my life. … More There’s no place like home

I thought I would never get another opportunity to climb the beautiful, winding roads of Seoraksan. However, my final weekend in Korea I got to enjoy our home-away-from home and have one last weekend at Min’s cabin. My final weekend in Korea saw us celebrate the birthday of one of the nicest ‘okes’ I’ve ever … More Min’s Final Farewell…Take Two

This week saw the marriage of two of my best friends, set against a beautiful backdrop of rice paddies and to the stunning musical talents of Rudy Botes on the cello. Jojo and Malcolm only surprised us last week with the news of their engagement, which was made even more of a surprise when we … More A hard push up the coast to reach the wedding bells in time

This weekend saw the final reunion of the ‘Gangwon Gangsters’ as we met up one last time at Min’s Cabin, nestled in the beautiful Seoraksan Mountains. Over the last two years we’ve shared some incredible memories and formed friendships that will last a lifetime. As our time in Korea is drawing to a close for most of us, … More A final farewell and the last cycle to ‘Min’s Cabin’ in Seoraksan
