Oldfield's Around the World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781787196926)

The point of the trip was just the journey, not particularly the destinations, although we've seen some spectacular sights. It was about being on the bike, every day, and having our eyes opened to the rest of the world.

You do come to realize that the world isn't as big as you thought it was.

If you're contemplating doing a similar trip, just do it. We are not special people, we don't have lots of money, we're not making exciting and witty media appearances, we just made a decision to go, and did it.

So can you.
