I want to eat a bowl of corn flakes in every country in the world




I started my adventure in September 2002 intending to experience the world for 16 months and then return to the U.K to do the usual career, house and kids thing. My plans changed and now my aim in life is simple.


I fell in love with the travel life and became intrigued about almost every corner of the world. I began to wonder if anyone has ever visited every country in the world? and soon after, my personal quest was etched in stone.

I'll say it again

I want to eat a bowl of corn flakes in every country in the world
this is the stone etching

I decided to add the twist of eating corn flakes because firstly; I love corn flakes, and secondly because if I do visit every country and somebody tells me I am not the first then I can pull my corn flakes as a wild card. I doubt very much if anyone has ever eaten a bowl everywhere in fact I also wonder if anyone has done a similar thing on another planet somewhere in the cosmos ever in the 14 billion year history of this universe. My feat will be unique throughout time and space.


Watch as I try to eat a bowl of Corn Flakes in every country in the world.

Mallorca - 4 Weeks 4 weeks between cycle trips with the intention to simply relax. We Stayed with Stephs Sister, Suzie so lots of family time, from sitting in cafes to volleyball training and birthday parties. Stephs parents were there when we arrived so we had their company for 4 days then shortly after my brother joined us for a week. The week with my brother was a week in which we did lots of relaxing and sitting around watching the world go by. We did hire a car for a couple of days and drove around the island - the first day we went to the mountainous area and it was wet and cloudy, the day after that we went to Alcudia and enjoyed the beach and some sun. Soller, Valldemossa and Llubi were cool, ... read more

Portugal - 6 weeks This trip started in Lisbon and finished in Mallorca, entailing a flight to Lisbon, cycling 950 miles, taking 2 trains, 2 ferries, and driving about a 1000 km across Spain. We flew in to Lisbon, We being me, the misses, 2 bikes and about 50 kilos of stuff. Portugal was a fantstic country, far better than I had expected – with some beautiful countryside, extremely friendly and pleasant people, and an interesting history (from Megalithic sites to Roman ruins, to countless hilltop castles). It was the first cycle trip for Steph, who struggled for the first 2 – 3 weeks but then blossomed into a budding tour-cyclist. If you'd like the more detailed version of the trip skip the rest of this paragraph, for those of you who want the short version ... read more

Road Trip (San Francisco) - 9 Days We drove up to San Rafael (the other side of the San Fran Bay) to stay with a good friend of mine, Jason, and we went out drinking on the first night to celebrate his birthday, therefore didn’t do much the day after. We used San Rafael as a base to explore the area and we spent our first non-hung over day visiting Muir woods to see some massive trees and part of the amazing California coastline. I loved walking through the woods, I felt really insignificant, humble or respectful being surrounded by ancient trees that were thousands of years old and it was a very peaceful place. One day we drove in to the city and parked at the Fort Mason Green and from there walked to ... read more

U.S.A. - 7 Weeks After a glorious year and a half in "the UK's Big Brother" we have saved up enough cash to do a big trip or two. We have started with a 7 week visit to the "Land of the Free" with the intention of spending some time with my dad, some time in the sun and some time re-exploring the West-side. The first 2 weeks... ...have been all about settling in, contributing to my dads alcoholism and letting steam come out of our ears. We arrived just before New Years eve and went for a nice meal in a posh french restaurant followed by a live band. We had the use of my dads mini cooper so were able to cruise around but basically used it to go to Venice beach, it ... read more

Switzerland For our honeymoon we hired a car in Italy and then spent 9 days on the road, including 6 days and 5 nights in Switzerland. We entered Switzerland from Lake Como, so started in Lugano then travelled anti-clockwise around the country until we reached the Visp area before crossing the Simplon pass back into Italy. I was quite excited about the prospect of travelling around Switzerland, a relatively small country, so easy enough to travel around and with neighbouring countries such as France, Italy and Germany I thought there would be a mix of culturally aware, cosmopolitan people with various cuisines on offer. Well, in my opinion, I was bang wrong. The scenery was beautiful, as you’d imagine Switzerland to be; full of lakes and snow-capped mountains, with castles around every corner but this was ... read more

My experience of Liechtenstein was brief although I found time to taste the local brew, eat some corn flakes and enjoy the panoramic view of an entire country. The border with Austria is defined by a mountain range so we entered the country into Vaduz and then drove up the range to be able to see the country leading down into the beautiful Rhine valley. The 4th smallest country in the world is famous for dentures and its stunning natural beauty. It measures just 25km in length and 6km in width, barely larger than Manhattan, and it might be hard to find on a but it’s filled with quaint villages and spectacular views filled with mountains, lush forests and the Rhine Valley. It is famous for being the world’s largest producer of dentures and those who ... read more

Italy, Lake Garda and The Big 'Hob'day We flew out to Malcescine on Wednesday 18th May as part of a week long package holiday, so had a nice hotel booked for 7 nights and best of all a coach to take us from Verona airport straight to the hotel. The time in Malcescine was very relaxed, lots of wandering the cobble-stone streets, admiring the really cool castle from different angles and meeting friends and family in various cafes and restaurants. The town offers fantastic scenery, making walks along the lakeside very pleasant and there are various boat trips on the lakes and the chance to see views from the top of Monte Baldo, I took the cable-car up there for a morning view. We got married on Monday 23rd and started our honeymoon on Wednesday 25th ... read more



The UK’s Big Brother

April 1st 2011

The UK’s Big Brother I have lived back in the UK for just over a year now and I have come to realise that this country has changed a lot since I left 9 years ago. As a population we are financially worse off, we are continually being given more and more laws, rules and regulations, with less and less say in the establishment of these laws and more and more policing and surveillance to enforce these laws. Therefore our freedom to live in the UK has been reduced as we can afford to do less, we are told we can do less and our privacy is invaded by surveillance, I think the changes are so big that, for my blog, I am going to consider the UK a different country, called “The UK’s Big Brother”. ... read more

Me and my girlfriend flew to New York for a couple of days of pleasure and a little business. The business was to pick up my decree absolute meaning I am finally divorced and the pleasure involved alcohol, an old friend and some walking. I also chose the moment to take my US corn flakes shot, I thought that most relevant for the states was to show what the country is so proud of - money and capitalism.... read more
