That's what my body has become. A shivering mess of frozen fingers and toes. I'm in Boston, and it's -15 degrees Celsius, with winds gusting up to 30mph - in other words, it's bloody cold! But no snow of course - just lots and lots of ice. Seeing as I

It's 6pm, and I'm at my hostel in Spain. Not without a bit of trouble tho, what with the flight from Egypt being delayed until 2am, missing my connecting flight by a matter of minutes, and then getting desperately lost in the streets of Sevilla (in all

Let me just say, for the record, riding a camel is really uncomfortable - particularly for a guy! In Aswan, we rode camels for 1hr through the desert to St. Simon's Monastery. This monastery was actually one of the earliest Christian churches. With the

2566 BC. That was when the first pyramids were built. Over 4 and half millennia ago. It's something that you really can't comprehend, especially as you stand underneath them. How on earth did they get all those myassive stone blocks up there! They say

No trip to the UK could truly be complete without experiencing a Premier League football match. And so it was that on a freezing cold December afternoon we descended on Craven Cottage for the London derby between Fulham and West Ham. Sitting just 8 rows

And so it was, the day after the Aussies reclaimed the Ashes, the UK Walshes (who coincidentally have just decided that cricket is not a sport) decided to challenge the Aussie Walshes to a game of golf. The weather was the best it had been in a long time

At least, for the next 30mins. This flight is a killer! Maybe I should have prepared for it by having more than 4 hours sleep last night! Maybe. And who was the smart fellow who thought "Snakes on a Plane" would make a good in-flight movie!

That's right, today I depart on my round the world trip! This is the route I will be taking: I've calculated that I have about 73.5 hours flight time in total! To keep me entertained, I'm going to bring a whole bunch of books: Stay tuned to this blog.
