Global roaming: overland from Sydney to Scotland, via a wintry Siberia. Looks like I've found a new home!
About this blog
Most of this blog is about a guy and his laptop catching every bus, train and boat between Sydney and Scotland - travelling overland across Australia, the Orient, Russia, Scandinavia, north Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean.
The rest is a continuation of travels, now that another half of the world is on the doorstep. I'm back to the grindstone for the time being but just maybe, one day, I'll take on the western hemisphere and end up where I started off.
