CURRENT MISSION

To drive through every country in the world

ABOUT ME

Love to travel, especially if its driving a vehicle, any type of vehicle in demanding environments.

I want to drive in every country in the world, well we can all have a dream

A very good friend of mine once described me as ' Crazy but not dangerous and intelligent but not boring', I always thought that summed me up well because I like to take risks but never stupid ones and I love learning new knowledge about anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want as long as it doesnt hurt anyone

Music, Movies, and Books

Blimey, where to begin....

Rock, Punk, Ska, old Rap, Rave, alternative stuff - really liking Die Antwoord right now - awesome driving music!

Movies would have to be mostly Horror and Scifi but I also like to see something that has a good twist that I just cant work out, its always good to be surprised watching a movie.

Books is mostly comics and graphic novels Im afraid although I do read the odd book now and again on long haul trips. Last book I read was whilst driving across the Sahara recently - it was called 'Beyond the last Oasis' awesome book

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ahhh so many...

Getting locked up when I accidentally crossing into war zone in Transnistria whilst driving across Moldova to Odessa in the Ukraine

Driving through a sand storm in Mongolia in the dark in the dark

Staying with 'la famalia' in Ketama, Riff Vally, Morocco

Camping in hemp fields in Kazakhstan

Driving across the Dominican Republic on a little motorbike in a hurricane with a passenger on the back

Driving through a mine field in Mauritania

Driving from Romania back to the UK in one go, 25hrs with no sleep

Driven from the Uk to Ulanbataar in Mongolia in a little 1 ltr car.

Tried to drive to Africa in 2011 (also in a little 1 ltr car) but only got as far as Syria because of the war breaking out

Drove down to Dakar in Senegal and back (mostly on my own also in a little 1 ltr car) back in 2013

I drove across 7 countries in South America in 2014 which was totally awesome, I wanted to do all 13 but the useless truck I bought blew up but I loved it all the same

I just recently did a drive I called 'The Baltic run' through 13 countries, most of which were on the Baltic sea

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can learn something new from anyone I meet. Out of all the hundreds of people I have met travelling nearly all of them have either taught me something new of taught me a lesson

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good times and hopefully some good stories
