And so it ends…
Posted on July 30, 2015 by noflytri in Top Experiences, Travel tips.Any blog written on a Eurostar back home to see you family for the first time in 17 months whilst suffering from lack of sleep and being simultaneously high on caffeine and a bit drunk is unlikely to be my finest work. So forgive me if the quality of the prose in this post is […]

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a 38,000 tonne container ship
Posted on July 21, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Boats, Photoblog, Top Experiences, Travel tips.I have crossed the ocean and arrived in Belgium – Wooo! Once I have posted this I can go eat chocolate and waffles and drink beer! – Double Wooo! I had thought that having already put up a blog about crossing the oceans writing a second one would be more difficult, that there wouldn’t be […]

Taking a freighter across the Atlantic Ocean
Posted on July 10, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Boats, USA.So, it’s almost time. And indeed, a few hours after posting this it will have already begun… The Voyage to Belgium (rejected title for Star Trek IV). Not quite home, but pretty damn close. In my mind I’m still half expecting something to go wrong. Some unnecessary complication, despite travelled this way now once before […]

A Grand Sunset…
Posted on July 6, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Arizona, Photoblog, Top Experiences, USA.I would guess that most people go to the Grand Canyon with, well grand expectations – I suppose I was somewhat the opposite of that – my expectations were actually reasonably low having previously been to the similarly massive Copper Canyon in Mexico, which I was able to get to easily by public transport and […]

Dan and the Chocolate Factory
Posted on June 7, 2015 by noflytri in USA.Ok so Dan doesn’t quite scan as well as Charlie, and as I actually visited the Chocolate Factory on National Doughnut Day perhaps I should have tried to find a Doughnut Factory to visit instead. That said given the amount of donuts, chocolate and pie that I ate that day, I have probably greatly increased […]

Turning Japanese…
Posted on April 14, 2015 by noflytri in Japan.One of the recurring themes of this trip seems to be that whenever I go to a place with no or low expectations, I’ve ended up really enjoying it. Japan was one of these places. Japan is different Weird would be a less polite way of putting it. Link to this post!

Crossing the Pacific Ocean on a 100,000 tonne container ship
Posted on March 30, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Boats, Top Experiences.So, I’ve made it! All the way to Mexico from Japan by sea on a container ship. Was it what I was expecting? Yes and no. Was it good? Yes Would I do it again? Yes (which is a reassuring answer as I will be crossing the Atlantic in little over 3 months time…) Link […]

Taking a Freighter Across the Pacific
Posted on March 13, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Travel tips.So my plan has become to travel around the world without flying. When I mention this to people one of the first questions I get is how will I get across the Oceans – and my answer has been to arrange passage on container ships to cross the worlds two greatest oceans. The first of […]

A year of travel!
Posted on March 6, 2015 by noflytri in Photoblog, Top Experiences.So today, the 6th March 2015, marks 1 year from when I boarded a Eurostar at London St Pancras and left the UK behind. At the time the plan was just to get to Japan and back. And to be back by Christmas… Obviously things changed a bit since then – in a weeks time I […]
