Michael Palin and his world travels

Today I stumbled upon Monty Python comedian Michael Palin’s travel website, and other than the sheer amount of travel (and travel shows) he has done, I was extremely impressed with its content as it dissects every one of his long trips around the world.

He did 7 big journeys (80 Days, Pole to Pole, Full Circle, Hemingway, Sahara, Himalaya, New Europe) and you can read the entire book of each journey as documented day by day, for free on his website.

You can also find his trip routes mapped out, details of where he stayed, stories about the people he met, videos, and tonnes of photos. Not only that, you can search his travels basis criteria such as where he ate, what he ate, what he drank, what sights he saw, what sports he played, and what activity he engaged in.

All in all a very interesting and inspiring website. It’s different and worth going to because it’s not full of celebrity fluff but full of ideas and details should you want to do something similar. Check it out here.
