Hey Tynan,

I recently read a great book about traveling around the world without planes: Back in 6 Years by Tony Robinson-Smith (yeah, the title’s not so great — but don’t be fooled, he’s a talented writer) See link below

My own favorite way of traveling is definitely motorcycle. My girl and I are doing another motorbike trip round Asia next year starting December 1st from Saigon. Look us up if you’re over that way. Bikes are cheap and plentiful :)

I travelled solo for a month in China – this got very boring and lonely at times, especially as I don’t speak Mandarin. Though it taught me to appreciate the ease of communication I have in UK.

My friend did a journey by train from Glasgow (Scotland) all the way to Beijing by train. Getting visas is a pain in the neck as you have to be “invited” to Russia (you pay someone a small amount to do that) but it sounded worth it! Maybe an idea for you?

The trip looked like this:
Glasgow – London (sleeper)
London to Brussels (Eurostar)
Brussels – Belarus
Belarus – Moscow
Moscow – China (trans-siberian express)

Epic.

Wow, all around the world trip without planes sounds cool! It could get boring at a times though.
