Give Away: The Travel Project 1000

The Travel Project is heading towards that big 1000 in the sky on Twitter, 10’000 page views a month and about to crack into the 1,000,000 most viewed website in the world – a milestone of a small but epic proportions for Nic and I. So we thought we would have a little give away to mark the milestone! So here’s how it works: Anyone who follows us on twitter from follower 900 all the way up to 1000 followers (inclusive) will go in the draw to win a brand new copy of one of my favourite books, “The Wrong Way Home” by Peter Moore.

{New Blog Series} India and Sri Lanka: The Search for the Forgotten Tree

I could think of no better way to start this exciting post than with something Niki just said to me. “Peter I want you to take note of this quote from my book, “not all activities in India involve hauling your arse up a mountain!” So with that read between the lines message given to me with one eyebrow raised and a look in the eye that says my wife hasn’t forgotten out last foray into Vietnam (Hello, Whats Your Name?), Im very excited to announce our latest travel blog series and of course, our next big travel adventure. In just over three weeks Niki and I will be heading off to fabled island of Sri Lanka for six weeks before landing in the mother country of India for a three month off the beaten track experience and to dig deep into the...
