Where The Hell Is Niall?
On September 30, 2011, I left my hometown in Ireland to embark on a 4-year trip around the world without flying. I have a loose plan of the route I hope to take and the countries I hope to visit. I spend just a few hours in some places, a few months in others. The map below shows my progress.
Next up: I arrived in Kathmandu on April 22nd and plan to spend 2-3 months in Nepal before heading back to India on a fresh visa.

Hopping a sleeper train from Zurich to Vienna - November, 2011
India is a great place! been there for a week last year and will be there for Holi festival next March
Give me a shout if finally you visit Indonesia! Safe travels!
Thanks for the comment, Sysilia. A friend told me about the Holi festival recently and I researched it online. Looks absolutely amazing, and I hope I make it to India in time for that.
I also hope to visit Indonesia at some point, so hopefully we’ll get to meet there
Nepal is supposed to be beautiful in October, and I’ll be living there by then!
If not, maybe we’ll meet on the beaches of Goa this May
Nice! I should be in Nepal by May, will probably stay for 2 months and then head back to India on a full 3-month visa. Hopefully our paths will cross at some point
Good luck! I wish I could do something similar.
Amazing. Can’t wait to read your new adventures. Good luck in India. The end of the trip isn’t important. The trip itself is magic.
Thanks, Mirek!
Seems you are in KTM currently. That’s where I live. So what are you planning to do there for 2 months? I am happy you’re here because now I’ll get to read adventures of my place in your blog.
This place should be cheap for you.
I hope to see you somewhere in KTM somehow.Hehe.
Enjoy! and have a great time in KTM
