Year of Travel 2001

In 2001 I set out on the adventure of a young lifetime - travelling over 70,000km in 318 days, from Cape Town in South Africa to Vancouver in Canada, taking in East and South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and North America en route.

​

I'll be publishing monthly updates here throughout 2025 as we approach February 2026, the 25th anniversary of that adventure.

Table Mountain

February 2001

In February, my travels took me to South Africa: from Cape Town up the coast to Coffee Bay and taking in amazing views, baking sun, a mugging, too many hangovers, and family visits along the way.

My editing setup

In 2002 - the year after I returned from my travels - Apple launched the iMac G4. I always wanted one, but at £1,600+ there was no way I could afford it.

​

Fast forward to 2025, and I've bought one off Ebay for £95...it's fully functional, so I'm using it to write up my 2001 diary. Period perfect!
