Just completed a round the world trip, mostly by train. I flew from London, UK to New York City and then crossed the USA by train. From Los Angeles, I flew to Japan. I spent a week criss-crossing Japan by train. After that, it was a 2 night ferry crossing to Vladivostok, Russia. I took the Trans Siberian railway right the way across Russia to Moscow. From Moscow, it was a train to Paris, and then another to London. Around the world in 38 days.
I feel a real sense of achievement. I researched, planned and book everything myself. I travelled solo and there was no back-up. I've fulfilled my lifelong railway interests and ambition to circumnavigate the global. And I travelled all the way from Japan to London, UK by surface transport only. No aircraft.
If other aspies, or anyone else has the idea to do something similar, I'd be more than happy to inspire, advise or help.
Even made a YouTube film of my adventures:
You can either watch in one go - 40 minutes
Or 4 episodes, each of 7-12 minutes
