Bird Dream: Overland from India to Switzerland
About this blog
Welcome to our blog! It will be our virtual home for the next 18 months as we travel overland from India to Switzerland.
There is no set itinerary, no bookings, just a one way ticket to Kolkata and a couple of visa's.
Our intention is to travel every mile on the ground: by foot, by bus and by train.
We will do our best to keep you informed of our movements and experiences. We love hearing from our friends, family and fellow travellers so feel free to post us a message.
