Ashgabanter
Turkmenistan best country in world. All other countries inferior. Glorious Ashgabat has superior marble quality to all other capital cities. End message. Hail glorious leader.
Turkmenbashi, Turkmenistan. After a hellish...
Turkmenbashi, Turkmenistan. After a hellish few days fighting to board a ferry in Baku, and a scurvy - inducing 38 hour journey we've finally hit land.
Tiblisi, Georgia
having a day to relax and recover before we hit up Azerbaijan and their apparantly horrendously slimy police
Mount Nemrut, Turkey
some long hours and sleeping in cars have brought us here via Cappadocia shattered and disorientated
Istanbul, Turkey
33 hours, a rejected border crossing and fierce traffic later we have landed in Istanbul
Elbasan, Albania
Pulling a big one to steam from Dubrovnik to as close to Istanbul as possible. Heading towards Macedonia. Albania is mad.
Dubrovnik
Huge day on the road through the beautiful country of Croatia. Did get hauled up and ruthlessly searched by border guards at the Bosnia enclave though....
Budapest
What it says on the tin. Got in late. Roamed till later. Up and onwards early tomorrow. What is sleep?
Prague
Prague to discover and recover after the Czech out party
Day 1
After a long stint on the road, some lost car parts, traffic and a missed ferry we have finally made it to our fist stop. A friends house in BRussell. Thanks Allison for allowing us to invade your house!
Welcome to the haphazard adventures of a remarkably useless trio who aim to drive across the world in a Nissan shitbox. Inspired voyagers Jack "The Panic" Bickford-Smith, Oliver "Really Nice Time" Gittings, and Gilles "Straight Outta Shoreditch" Rodway-Gant will grovel in the determination and bravery of explorers like Ernest Shackleton, Robert Falcon Scott, and James Cook but with one defining quality: we absolutely hate being frozen to death or eaten by cannibals.

Cool Earth
We know that saving the rainforest isn’t a new idea. Managing to do it is. Cool Earth decided to go about things differently. We don’t create reserves or put up fences. We don’t buy land. Instead, we put indigenous people back in control of the world’s most endangered rainforest. These people have lived in the forest for countless generations. Their homes are now on the frontline of deforestation. They have the most to lose from deforestation. By building better incomes, better schools and better clinics, we give our partner villages the resources they need to keep their forest intact. Cool Earth is now working alongside 113 rainforest villages throughout the world. These partner villages are protecting over 500,000 acres of forest that lie directly in the path of chainsaws and bulldozers. The clever part is that this forest is forming a shield to make the neighbouring forest inaccessible to loggers – saving millions of acres of further forest.
