Braking Boundaries

On October the 15th 2009, after completing a whopping 14,000 km Katie and I rolled into London with a sense of emptiness and a loss of what to do next. Our life on the road had all of a sudden come to an end. No more setting up camp, cooking and living in the wild...

The final stats are still being compiled and there are a mountain range of stories and video to be published, but the legwork is now over for the team. Jared and Katie seem to have had the lion’s share of adventure. ...

With our trip to Vardzia complete we took what seemed to be the best road to Turkey which was no more than 200km away. Yes we knew there was a 2000 meter pass in between, but no asphalt, that was a surprise. Click here to view the embedded video.

Getting to Vardzia can be done many ways. Car, Minibus, Taxi or bike. We decided to add a little adventure to our trip and combined a few of these Vardzia was definitely a highlight to our Georgian Experience. Click here to view the embedded video.

I keep forgetting to put these online. TBSeFM contacted way back in Urumqi, China and most recently when we were waiting for the the ferry in Aktau, Kazakhstan. Listen to the Urumqi interview : Urumqi Listen to the Aktau interview : Aktau

After almost 5 months and nearly 11,000km we’ve finally arrived in Istanbul, the crossroads between Europe and Asia. As you might imagine, we’re rather chuffed at the thought knocking off an entire continent, though perhaps equally thankful that the next one is just that little bit smaller. Th...

My mum was kind enough to contact the local paper. They caught up with me while we were having a break in Tiblisi, Georgia and have since published an article about the trip. I have uploaded the article as a downloadable PDF file for anyone who would like to read it...
