Back in 1997/98 for about 17 months, we went on a backpacking trip, flying out to Delhi and travelling through India, Nepal, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia to finally end up in New Zealand. We routed home in the same direction just in time for Christmas.
You can read all about this trip in my diary-style book, which is available on Amazon on kindle for 99p or paperback for £2.99.
