I was travelling through 3 different countries today. This trip has been inspired by many similar projects, the first was when I was a 16-year-old in 2013, when I became immersed in the Discovery Channel documentary of the British explorer, Ed Stafford, who made a Guinness World Record walking the entire length of the Amazon River – […]

BLOG POST – Bottlecap Flag. | 6th March, 2017.
Despite myself insisting I’d wake up to say goodbye to Damien, Cathy + the girls, I just kept a-snoozing and they decided it was best to let me be. I was a little sad that I didn’t get to hug goodbye (well, they actually kiss here – this has been something I expected but, being politely […]
BLOG POST – Back to Arlon | 5th March, 2017.
I thought I was leaving Arlon today, so Damien, Cathy, the girls and I took some lovely remembrance photos. However, upon walking for an hour in some rather atrocious weather, knowing full well the weather wasn’t set to improve and I still had another 7 hours to Luxembourg City, I made the wise decision of […]
BLOG POST – Dragon Paint. | 4th March, 2017.
So, I didn’t take any photos after my scrap with the bushes, but I certainly had some major developments last night; Having walked for over 7 hours, I arrived in the town of Martelange at 8:30PM – this meant I had supremely misjudged my distance to walk today because Google Maps + Local signs were […]
BLOG POST – 23 and me. | 3rd March, 2017.
EDIT 15/04/2017: I am now back home in Scotland for a 5 week break, which means I have a huge amount of time to update my blogging days! Yaay – so expect a bunch of them to arrive soon 🙂 So here goes, folks; I need to sort out my Written Blog Post consistency. My […]
BLOG POST – The mud and the Lime tree. | December 9th, 2016
I hopped out of the bed on the right, flung on some clothes and popped down for some breakfast. Turns out I was the only guest up and eating. As I was brewing my tea – it was a self-service kitchen – ever so suddenly the side fire-door crashed open and the dude who served me […]
BLOG POST – Goodbye Truckstop. | 8th December, 2016.
Having trodden 2000 Kilometers over ice-capped mountains, car-infested highways and energy draining clay mud swamps I feel I’ve now recognised the recurring theme of continual travel: Holding on and letting go. Thursday, December the 8th, 2016 was the last time I gave my big punk of a bro a cuddle before setting forth into the wilderness of Southern Scotland […]
BLOG POST – Host, Storm and Brother. | 7th December, 2016.
I consider it an incredible win to wake up in East Kilbride wrapped in a bunch of cosy covers. Last night I stumbled wonderfully into my exploration of the Couchsurfing Universe as I stayed with the most incredible Sean and Agata – strangers who became brilliant friends! I also kindly received a wake up call from one fluffy […]
BLOG POST | Crafty Dan | 6th December, 2016
From Tuesday the 29th of November to Tuesday the 6th of December, I’ve been staying at Euan MacDonald’s and Joe Geekie’s flat in Paisley, 2 of the most fine gentlemen I know of. Euan, an incredible best friend all the way since Primary School, our relationship made when, one Halloween, he trick or treated my home and with […]
BLOG POST – Cars, Bridges and Airports. | December 2nd, 2016
Today was a day of necessity. I was still staying with Euan and Joe, in Paisley, yet I hadn’t actually walked to their home – meaning I was here as an ‘Illegal Alien’ 😉 I create the rules for the Wander and I say that I must always have a continuous walking line, but I’ll accept lifts […]
