QUICK QUESTIONS<br />
Scariest place: American immigration,<br />
where I was detained for several<br />
hours and had my visa rejected<br />
because I had travelled through Iran.<br />
Scariest situation: apart from the<br />
above, it was being confronted by<br />
a huge python while running in the<br />
Daintree Rainforest in Queensland,<br />
Australia. I was literally frozen on<br />
the spot, which is never a good thing<br />
when a snake is hanging above you<br />
from a tree.<br />
Favourite place: Bhutan, for its<br />
outstanding natural beauty, great<br />
roads, chilled-out people and<br />
government policy of ‘gross national<br />
happiness’ used to determine wellbeing,<br />
rather than relying on GDP as a<br />
measure of success. How cool is that?<br />
Least favourite place: India,<br />
because I got the dreaded<br />
‘Delhi Belly’ (of course), was<br />
frequently run off the<br />
road by crazy drivers<br />
and was continually<br />
surrounded by<br />
crowds of people<br />
whenever I stopped<br />
the bike. But for<br />
all that, I now look<br />
back on it with fond<br />
memories.<br />
Best food: probably<br />
Thai and Malaysian<br />
(there’s a reason<br />
why people from these<br />
countries are fatter than your<br />
average Asian) although Aussie<br />
steaks and your typical South African<br />
braai come pretty close.<br />
Worst food: American. And such huge<br />
portions too…<br />
Couldn’t do without: US$, they work<br />
everywhere<br />
Could do without: customs agents,<br />
port police, border fixers and<br />
everyone else who is ‘on the take’ and<br />
trying to squeeze you for some extra<br />
cash<br />
Best things about being home again:<br />
sleeping in my own bed, enjoying<br />
Yorkshire tea, drinking real ale and<br />
realising how green and pleasant the<br />
UK is (a lot of the world is brown and<br />
arid)<br />
What would you do differently next<br />
time: ditch the deadlines for sure<br />
Advice to wannabee globetrotters:<br />
what are you waiting for? The biggest<br />
decision is deciding to go. The rest is<br />
easy.<br />
