Central Asia in 14 days starts… now! I imagine it will go questionably wrong at some point, but hopefully it’ll be fun 😅 🇰🇿🇺🇿🇰🇬🇹🇯

Being on anything with wheels here is… quite the experience! It’s all so incomprehensibly cheap though: 75p for a 20min taxi (in a hatchback that somehow has six people in it) 20p for a bus ticket *Working speedo and doors optional, apparently

Given the experience of entering Slovakia today, I think I’ll be having fun conversations with border guards for the next six years of my passport 🫡

Plenty of twists heading home… an unplanned stay in Gdańsk/London and being ‘un-exited’ from Schengen😅 Our first flight was delayed by: - A bird strike - Late cargo readjustment - Sudden assistance need - Someone tripping on the stairs That’s the bad luck used up for a while!

You cycle 1000s of kilometers and the one time you fall off is at walking pace on an incredibly busy Princes Street… Deeply embarrassing would not recommend 🙃

I’m pretty much fine at least, the same can’t be said for one of my AirPods!

A true honour to see *that* Euston board in person, really brings together the grimness of the station

Some beautiful scenery on the way to Rovaniemi today. Slightly less beautiful is the -21c, frozen hair and 05:15 train tomorrow morning 😅

Turned 24 today, woke up with a sore shoulder and had to choose the second age range on a form. So it really is all downhill from here 😂

I know Ryanair try to be as cheap as possible but this is going a little too far 😅😅

No HS2 = no ambition for our country just when the whole world is looking at us. Now is a time to be AMBITIOUS! #GreatDecision

Not at all regretting my genius idea to head straight back home with a 30 hour journey after the #JapaneseGP. At least the mildly threatening feeling of transiting in China makes it more interesting!

It was a terrible race for them, but the Williams/Gulf livery really does look great in person!

Japan has been incredible to explore so far, but 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and 34c don’t mix 🥵
