Overland Travel
Until 2013 most of my travel was focused on visiting isolated tribal and nomadic people. Since 2015, I have found a different was to structure and plan my trips – drawing overland (and on water) routes across the globe, following them without flying and taking in anything interesting on the way, be it wildlife, tribal people, beaches and snorkeling, long-distance bicycle routes, ancient sites, capital cities and more. It has turned out to be an incredibly interesting way to travel, expanding my interests far beyond their rather narrow pre-2013 limits. In general I would recommend this kind of slow travel to anyone as takes you to lots of little in-between places that you would miss if flying from one tourist site to the other and gets you in touch with the local population, which is surely one of the most interesting aspects of international travel.
Here is a map showing my overland routes thus far. Please note that most of them were not completed in one go but over many journeys and many years. Some parts of some routes may have been done east to west and others west to east, but all represent an unbroken line of overland travel as shown on the map.
