Eastern Horizons
Eastern Horizons: Hitchhiking the Silk Road | Levison Wood
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Levison Wood was only 22 when he decided to hitch-hike from England to India through Russia, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, but he wasn't the conventional follower of the hippy trail. A fascination with the deeds of the early explorers, a history degree in the bag, an army career already planned and a shoestring budget of 750 pounds - including for the flight home - he was determined to find out more about the countries of the Caucasus and beyond - and meet the people who lived and worked there. Eastern Horizons is a true traveller's tale in the tradition of the best of the genre, populated by a cast of eccentric characters; from mujahideen fighters to the Russian mafia. Along the way he meets some people who showed great hospitality, while others would rather have murdered him ...

So this was my first non-fiction read in December. Levison Wood goes on a journey from the UK to India, by hitchhiking. He does also takes buses and trains too. It was a great read, especially since travelling out not really possible. I loved hearing all his stories, the fascinating people he met and the history of the places he passed through. I will definitely try to read his other travel books! #nonfiction

On the road again. Or in the air.. Only a short trip across the Irish sea to hang out with my friend tomorrow and my mum in Sunday. I've been very brave this trip and only have my Kindle. No safety paperback! 😱
