One world. Two Students. Eighty different methods of transport. Can it be done?

That was our tag line. And the short answer is yes.

The result of a brain storming session in a remote wooden hut in Bolivia, high on expedition-related endorphines and low on blood sugar, this was my third and final consecutive “summer holiday” at university.

Traveling with my number one adventure accomplice – Thom – we set ourselves the goal of getting all the way around the world without using the same method of transport more than once. That precluded buses around town and that sort of thing but we still stretched the rules as fas as possible by including an electric train, a steam train and diesel train…

Nonetheless, in time for the very definite deadline of my brother’s wedding, the two of us stormed our away across the globe at speed, racked up our “80 ways” and had some wonderfully odd encounters en route.
