In 2010, Doctor Stephen Fabes waved goodbye to his colleagues at the Hospital and set out on a six-year journey through 75 countries. His first stop was a pub down the road where he spent several hours pondering his decision.

I catch up with Graeme and Luisa Bell from A2A Expedition and we discuss travelling as a family, keeping it real and the trials and tribulations of writing, publishing and selling a book.

No guests on this week’s episode, instead Andy talks us through 10 things he’s learnt as an overlander on his ‘Around The World in 800 Days’ trip. This is the first of several ‘special’ episodes that will be scattered throughout the coming year.

In this episode I chat with Shara Dillon who drove solo from the UK to South Africa in her Toyota Landcruiser. Ed Gill sits in, as we discuss overcoming major obstacles before you’ve even left and many other subjects.
