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: The clock is ticking on my Indian visa, so I need to get moving across Turkey and Iran. I wasn’t able to secure a visa for Pakistan (they tell me the only way I can get one is to apply in person back in Ireland), so I’ll need to bypass it somehow. Here’s hoping i can find a passenger ferry from Iran to India.

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
