Varanasi – Always Special
Howdy all. The next stop on the adventure of Dhaka to Dakar was the city of Varanasi, somewhat in Northern India (not that far from the border with Nepal) and another place I had been to before. In fact, this 3 month adventure was MOSTYLY taking me to places I had been at least once …
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 …
