Hi,
After almost five years of working as a UK travel news journalist, it's time to dust off the backpack and go see more of the world. I've reported on far too many traffic jams, delayed trains and cancelled flights.
If you've heard, read or seen my work it's probably brought a downer to your day. You're going to be late for work, miss the start of the game or not make that movie. Being a harbinger of doom is not always fun. When you find yourself only waiting for the next travel catastrophe, it's time for a change.
Most blogs are egotistical, narcissistic and self-absorbed, and so I feel i'll fit right in. This blog will hopefully capture the highlights from the next six months of travelling through thirteen countries and four continents.
This isn't a diary. Unless you're Samuel Pepys, Alan Bennett or even Alan Clarke, day to day life isn't that interesting. If you ever kept a journal, how often do you go back and read them? Probably a lot less than the latest copy of Heat. This space will contain brief snapshots of the trip. Conversations, sights and sounds experienced along the way. Probably a photo or two aswell.
So here's to life back on the road, and no more jam(s).

What's the betting there's a big pile-up on the Heathrow spur road and you miss your flight?
You're visiting thirteen countries? Lucky for some...
Hi Mike,
we are Adolfo and Maria from Barcelona. We go to Australia on September. We will visit Sydney, Ayers Rock and Cairns. Do you know where we can cuddle a koala (not only tickle)?
Could you please help us?
