I start this blog with the best intentions, to update it on a regular basis, to post photgraphs, thought and observations as I travel across the world. I hope that this may serve as a reference to others who might attempt similar long term solitary travel, but mainly its for my own records.
Never content with those text book pictures depicting a so-called “round” earth, starting on the 25th of Aug 2009 I will be travelling on my own from Dublin across the Siberia, through China and South East Asia to Australia and on the North America and eventually returning home in eight months, thereby putting this outlandish hypothesis to the test.
I know not what lies ahead, if nothing else then I shall have many a tale to tell the grandchildren; failing that, I may well be a cautionery tale, for somebody else’s.
I can’t believe i only just found this,i am thinking about doing the very same thing soon,so i would love to find out your travels so far,and i must keep checking this site for updates.
The report i just read sounds interesting,i could almost imagine hearing those complaining backpackers,they are few and far between here in Australia.
Looking forward to hearing more.

There are tickets available on the IQ2 website: http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/the-great-explorers. Please find the press release attached as a PDF which has more information.

Should be great!

What you and Lash are doing has been a dream of mine since I graduated high school here in the US. My biggest question, and one i can never seem to find an answer to – how do you start, and what did you start out with – monetary, physically, equipment, etc. I would greatly appreciate some tips and a little info. on starting the drift.
