The Odyssey Expedition spanned 1,492 days and over 220 countries and territories… so much material it’s far too much to cram into one book so it is being published in 3 volumes!
- “Man of the World” covers the first year of The Odyssey Expedition, beginning in Uruguay on January 1 and ending 138 countries and territories later at the Egyptian pyramids on December 31. Highlights include being arrested on the Russian border, braving a leaky wooden canoe over 600km of open ocean and two stints in two separate African jails.
- “Top of the World” covers the second year of The Odyssey Expedition, from Egypt to Australia via every country in Asia and then some. Highlights include getting into a snowball fight in Iraq, hanging with Maoist rebels in Nepal and being rescued from Islamic fundamentalists by a ladyboy named Jem.
- “End of the World” rounds off the Odyssey trilogy with a lively and fast-paced account of the last two years of the expedition, from Australia, around the Pacific and back to the UK via South Sudan. Highlights include coming face-to-face with the most deadly snake in the world, swimming with the famous jellyfish of Palau and scaling the Great Pyramid of Giza under cover of darkness.
