My early years of travelling abroad were basically two long trips away. The first from London to Bali, going through Europe, Africa and Asia. The second from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego, which was my version of Pole to Pole through the Americas. I called these my ‘Big Trips’ and after I came back home I tried to make a couple of summary videos with some short clips that summarised these adventures into short films, in the hope they may inspire others to do something similar.

Here’s Big Trip Part 1 – London to Bali

(Apologies for the low res quality, but in those days no-one even owned a video camera never mind record in HD)

At the end of Big Trip 1, whilst on Bali, I had made a concious decision to come back home with some money in my pocket instead of go to Australia. So that’s what I did, came home, saved up for 2 more years then headed off again, but this time in the other direction.
