About

Restless Since 2001

​Restless wanderer specializing in long haul overland journeys: Cairo to Cape Town, London to Seoul, Singapore to Islamabad. And more

​My passion is Overland Travel. I have nothing against flying but I prefer not to, as I can see the journey transition from one country to the next
