I wanted an adventure, I wanted to escape the UK, and I wanted to be alone.

Perhaps travelling all the way to Australia's outback wasn't the most convenient solution but convenience was merely taking me to my local Belsize Park Tesco.

I wanted to be nowhere for a while, to look out of a window and know that there was miles of nothingness ahead, no cars, no tubes, no angry people. Travel isn't a geographical expedition but a way of finding the peace or stimulation that ordinary life doesn't provide.
