I'm Andy - I started travelling back in 1999 and fell in love with it straight away! Since then I have been to 103 different countries all over the world and visited every continent except for Antarctica. I love to visit places that are a bit off the beaten track - some of my favourite places include Central Asia, West Africa, India and Iran.

Break down on the Road to Saly!
G'day there! My final stop before I hit Dakar, Senegal, was the beach town of Saly, 80km south of Dakar. And so it was that I took two share taxis (changing from one to the other in a city called Thies) for this journey. And yes - for the first time in the entire 3-month …
The Return to Kolkata – Walking Tour!
My first stop in India this year was Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta). My aim for the journey was to cross as many countries via land borders as possible, sadly it was not possible to cross from Dhaka to Kolkata by land because they were (maybe still are, I don’t know) hanging onto an old …

Noukchott Explorer – The Capital of Mauritania
Do you know the country Mauritania? I have found often when I mention I was going there, or now - that I have been there, people draw a blank. It was the second last country on the epic journey from Dhaka to Dakar, just north of Senegal. Mostly desert, the country was actually a surprise …

Dhaka to Dakar – The Stats, the Summary!
