I left Rio about 2 weeks ago and embarked on the final leg of my year long around-the-world adventure in continent number 5 North America. I met up with Tim in Boston in time for some 4th of July madness, and we have since travelled north through the forests of Vermont, entered Canada and French speaking Quebec, partied in the capital Ottawa and are now relaxing by Lake Ontario in a place called Kingston.
The trip has been great so far – so much to talk about, but as is usual with travelling (and to my surprise in US and Canada) the internet hasn’t been great. Many hotels have a net connection but it often costs to use or is too

I’m sat in Rio de Janeiro Galeao International airport about to board my final round the world flight – home. I can’t believe its five months since I left the UK. That’s 158 days i’ve been on the road. I also can’t believe I’m leaving 28 degree Brazil for 2 degree England. Well at least I’m not off to Estonia. It’s been -31 most nights for the past few weeks – so cold the Gulf of Finland has frozen!
It’s hard to sum up what a trip it’s been – I’ll need a few days (or weeks) to fully get my thoughts together, but one thing is for sure – it’s been the trip of a lifetime!
