This book tells the story of the author’s overland journey around the globe. A circumnavigation starting from Great Malvern in Worcestershire, England and using the world’s public transport. A journey designed to join together buses, boats and, especially, trains – the Trans-Siberian, the railway to Tibet (the highest in the world), Malaysia’s Jungle Line, Australia’s Indian Pacific, Amtrak and many others. Crossing the Pacific Ocean by hitching a lift on a container ship. Meeting so many people in so many countries, experiencing their natural generosity and learning the negligible differences between us. A global journey with an intention to observe and not to judge. Travelling ever forward to the destination of home.
