Latest revision as of 15:21, 9 May 2024
- Currently on a trip since early-2012 and should end around mid-2018 (unless I get tired).
- From Melbourne, Australia and London, England.
- I am a constant hitch hiker (land and sea) and couchsurfer also as they're both really great ways to meet people, learn about where I am and find out new things to see or do. Have hitched in around 80-90% of countries/territories I've visited.
- Travel Bio: Spent a lot of time travelling in Asia, Europe, western Africa, the Caribbean and north/south America.
- Highlights:
- Visiting North Korea
- Boat hitching through The Caribbean over five months
- Aurora Borealis in Yellowknife, Canada
- Attending a service with The Queen in the Tower of London!
- Tapati Festival in Easter Island
- Voyaging along the Amazon river from Colombia to the east coast of Brazil.
- Crew on a tall ship sailing from Sydney to and around the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand
- Hiking in the Himalayas
- Hiking the Kokoda Trail/Trek/Track
- The ales, food, people, history, small towns and beauty of England (of course!)
- The food, people, beauty and culture of France (friendliest people in the world)
- Japan!
- Invited to the closed underground church in Mont Saint-Michel, France
- Sleeping in Kilchurn Castle and Pont du Guard aqueduct
- St. Patrick's WEEK in Montserrat
- Perito Moreno glacier
- Never again:
- The expense, food and Naadam of Mongolia
- The harshness and alcoholics of Russia
- The nothingness and lies in Mauritania
- The racism and lies in The Gambia because of the dictator Jamal.
- The self entitlement that the poverty, destruction and foreign aid has created in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
- The desperate attempts and lies of a failing government to regain popularity by promoting war in the Falkland Islands, by Argentina
- Wishlist:
North Korea (2012)Cuba (May 2015)Visit St. Pierre and Miquelon (June 2015)Hitch through every Canadian province, the Yukon and Alaska (June-August 2015)Visit Ghostbusters sites in New York (September 2015)Visit all 50 states of the U.S. (June-October 2015)Kilauea Lava Lake (October 2015)Easter Island (January 2016)Iceland (May 2016)Faroe Islands (May 2016)Svalbard (June 2016)- Socotra (2017?)
- Greenland (2018?)
- Pacific Islands (?)
- Antartica/Falkland Islands/South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands
- Jacques Cousteau Island (?)
- Space/The Moon (Hopefully possible/affordable before I die)
- Mars (Extremely far fetched but something I'd love to do nonetheless)
