Dear All Greetings from the Amazon jungle! Wow, it feels so amazing to be able to write that! I am currently in a city called Iquitos, and with nearly half a million inhabitants it is the world’s largest city unreachable by road. The only way in or out is by river or by air, and since the former takes about five to seven days by riverboat from the nearest roaded settlement, Yurimaguas, I chose ... Read Full Entry

I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

I didn't know you were a Geography teacher...
With all your travels I'm sure your lectures are filled with interesting stories!

Teaching
Ah, well, I used to teach Geography, now I teach Religious Studies. It's been a long time since I taught about rainforests. But indeed, I believe travelling helps me to learn more about the world and myself, and thus in turn I feel it helps me to be a better teacher. I hope so at least...! Thanks for your encouraging words Bob ?

From the Amazon!
Shady taxi deals... I would have told the truth also. The flight over the Amazon looks amazing. You've scheduled a nice trip with a great variety of sights and activities. Traibal villages, fishing....Hiking in rainforest is slipper business. Travel allows us to have greater understanding of the world as we touch on beautiful scenery and cultural differences. Thanks for taking us along.
