Nick Claxton has never ventured outside of Europe before. One of his t-shirts is in fact more widely travelled after it was inadvertently whisked to Morocco in his housemate's suitcase. But a combination of too many years in London, a lack of proper responsibilities and an unhealthy admiration for Michael Palin now means he is spending a year travelling the globe.

A terminally-disorganised 24-year-old taking on the world - solo. He will be sharing his experiences from India and Nepal, south-east Asia, New Zealand and South America.

  • Travel blog: Pure Varanasi and the mighty Taj

    Kakarbhitta is on the brink of Nepal's far eastern border, so it was only a short rickshaw ride (30 rupees or 35p) across the Mechi river before I was back in India and heading towards Siliguri to get back on the train lines. More...

  • Travel blog: Latest news from Nepal

    My last blog makes Kathmandu sound like a terrible place. But put that down to falling ill. Sure, I was somewhat dreading my return after my rafting trip, but this time I coped better and had a chance to discover more of the city that's hidden behind the smog.More...

  • Travel blog: White-water rafting and bungee in Nepal

    The atmosphere of Kathmandu is what will stay with me most, I think. I'd love to say that I'm referring to the city's vibrant maelstrom of human activity - but unfortunately, many of my abiding memories are of the smog.More...

  • Travel blog: Trekking in Annapurna

    Next on my whistle-stop tour of Nepal was Pokhara - a little lakeside town just south of the Annapurna mountain range. More...

  • Travel blog: Tiger hunt in Nepal

    I loved Rishikesh. The whole vibe just fit me. Plus I could start most mornings by making the world disappear. A short run down the sand and a jump into the Ganges was all it took.More...

  • Travel blog: Yoga and the Beatles in Rishikesh

    Rishikesh is renowned for two main things. It is the self-proclaimed capital of yoga and it broke into mainstream consciousness when the Beatles stayed here back in 1968. More...

  • Travel blog: Road to Rishikesh

    I spent a total of three weeks sweating under the desert sun in Pushkar, which seems ridiculous in hindsight.More...

  • Travelblog: Traveller's lifestyle in Pushkar

    I woke up to the noise of the fan dying and the sudden heat sent me scampering upstairs to find some breeze. This was my first day in Pushkar, and one of my first experiences while travelling of having nothing planned.More...

  • Travelblog: Kashmir to Pushkar

    I opted to give the renowned Indian trains a try on my way south from Kashmir. The ticket into Rajasthan was around 1,700 rupees (£21.50), which was comparable to the flight cost and I was looking forward to seeing the countryside change as we chugged out of the mountains.More...

  • Travel blog: Horse trekking holiday in Kashmir

    The nights in Kashmir are cold and silent. Only rarely do the circling eagles disturb the quiet. It feels almost as if an extra blanket is thrown over the entire place by the mountains as the sun drops behind them.More...

  • Travel blog: Kashmir is a very different India

    Apart from seizing control of my camera as to snap birds-eye pictures of the Himalayas, my nine-year old charge Zubair proved to be a delight. More...

  • Travel blog: All roads lead to Delhi

    India was only meant to be a stop-off. Back in London, when I finally gathered enough courage to visit a travel agent and say 'one year - around the world', I had hoped to be eased in via eastern Europe. More...
