Leaving behind Thailand after the 2004 Tsunami, Ben, aged 19, made a life challenging journey without GPS or mobile phone to cross 11 countries in 8 months covering at least 16,000 miles, not including the occasional detour or missed direction. This is his log of the journey home...
What comes through most clearly is the sheer excitement of travelling in SE Asia when you're young, and seeing so many amazing things for the first time. This is a great account of the traveller's life, in which random encounters become critical junctures and you find yourself somewhere unfamiliar every day. Tom Feiling - Short walks in Bogota
