Travel counts

Rails into the snowy distance

Flight record
My flight record is here. 

International rail
My domestic rail trips are too numerous to count here, but here are all the international rail journeys I have taken. Non-stop overland transits are counted in brackets.

Countries visited
I don't have enough time or money to do country-counting seriously, but in the meantime I can at least travel around Europe.

As of visiting Cyprus, I have been to 47 of the 50 countries at least partly within the geographical definition of Europe, or all 27/27 countries of the European Union, or 31/31 countries of the EU + EFTA.

This list uses the list of 193+2 member and observer states of the United Nations as its basis. Non-member states are given separately at the end. The dates shown are for the first meaningful visit; airside transits and repeated visits are not shown.

Elektrichka to Mir and Nesvizh, Belarus This blog is dedicated to the joy of travelling through unusual, historical places.  Many destinations have become so tourist-focused that they no longer have any sense of real adventure. Instead, let us rediscover the excitement of exploring places less travelled.  These foundational principles underpin all that we do: Travel gives us much-needed context for the world around us.  Disneyland is nice and all, but it's not real.  There's no point in going to Benidorm and spending your evenings in the English pub, watching Premier League football.  A view from a train window gives a much more authentic view of what a place is really like:  rural and urban, rich and poor.  Using public transport like a local is a much better experience than a hire car.  There's little point in getting London/Paris/Rome souvenir mugs or keyrings that have all been mass-produced in some Chinese fac...

An Olympic day trip: Paris 2024

Image
Crossing the Seine by mรฉtro, August 2024 Paris is a very extravagant day trip from London, and I'd certainly recommend much more time there for a first-time visitor, but for those who've already been plenty of times then it can be a day trip. About a week before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, I noticed that there were still quite a lot of reasonably-priced tickets still available - including in table tennis, a sport that I do occasionally enjoy and am alright at. So, for €44.50, I bought a ticket to a Table Tennis Team Quarter-Final.  There are plenty of ways of travelling between London and Paris - over the years, I've done all of them. The Eurostar is by far the best, but is expensive at short notice. Flights are usually relatively cheap, but price-inflated at Olympic time and an exceptionally poor environmental choice especially when the overall city-centre to city-centre price is the same as the train and the journey time is in practice slower by air. I'...

Fortress Malta

Valletta Harbour as viewed from the Upper Barrakka bastion, May 2024 Norwich is an airfield that I have personally piloted a light aircraft into*, so when I noticed that there were £13 tickets available from Norwich Airport to Malta International Airport - one of the few countries that I hadn't yet visited on my medium-term project to visit every European country - I was delighted to take the opportunity.  Ryanair is well known for using its loss-leader ticket prices as bait to then gouge the customer elsewhere. The real marginal cost of filling a seat on an already-scheduled flight instead of leaving it empty is the sum of £13 Air Passenger Duty, ~£3 extra fuel to lift another passenger's mass into the air, ~£5 per passenger to use airport terminals, and another ~£10 in the cost of the risk of rebooking/accommodation/compensation if flights are delayed or cancelled. Each airline's marginal break-even ticket price is commercially sensitive, but if a flight ticket is less th...
