Where I have been

Locations on this map

Asia

🇰🇭 Cambodia

Angkor's temples, a hard modern history, and beaches still finding their shape

🇮🇩 Indonesia

Bali's beaches, Java's temples and trains, one archipelago of 17,000 islands

🇯🇵 Japan

Bullet trains, temple towns, and vending machines on every corner

🇲🇾 Malaysia

Malay, Chinese, and Indian food cultures sharing one street, one train line

🇵🇰 Pakistan

Mughal cities, the world's highest highway, and hospitality that means it

🇹🇭 Thailand

Temples, islands and street food, all linked by one cheap flight network

🇻🇳 Vietnam

One country, three climates, and a food scene that changes every few hundred kilometres

Central America

🇨🇷 Costa Rica

Small country, two coastlines, and more microclimates than a two-week trip can cover

Europe

🇧🇪 Belgium

Medieval city centres, world-class beer, and a train network that makes moving hotels pointless.

🇫🇷 France

Paris runs the postcards, but the Riviera and wine country run the trip

🇩🇪 Germany

Berlin history, Bavarian beer halls, and Europe's fastest, most punctual trains.

🇭🇺 Hungary

Thermal baths, wine cellars and a capital that outclasses its price tag

🇮🇪 Ireland

Four cities, one Wild Atlantic Way, and weather you plan around, not fight

🇮🇹 Italy

Rome's ruins, Tuscan hills, Venice canals, and Naples pizza in one trip.

🇵🇹 Portugal

Atlantic coastlines, hill-climbing trams, and the cheapest expensive country in Europe

🇪🇸 Spain

Late dinners, timed tickets, and five cities that don't feel alike

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

Five cities, one fast rail network, and weather that rewards planning around it rather than fighting it

Europe/Asia

🇹🇷 Turkey

Byzantine domes, fairy chimneys and a coastline that closes for winter

North America

🇨🇦 Canada

Second-biggest country on earth, and most of it is empty for a reason

🇲🇽 Mexico

Five very different cities in one country, none of them close to each other

🇺🇸 United States

Five cities, five completely different countries wearing one passport stamp
