Taken a very long time ago in Gabarone, Botswana.

Who Am I?
Graeme Batsman who lives most of the time in Harrow, England.

What Do I Do?
Travel is self-funded and does not earn me anything so I work in cyber security. Yes, I am quite used to people saying surely you should know better with your skill-set to not to travel to xyz!

When Did I Start Travelling?

Of course, with my parents and then semi-independently from 15 (South Africa), 17 with a friend (Copenhagen, Denmark) and 18+, many many many trips alone. Country count:
  • North America: 1
  • Asia: 16
  • Europe: 43
  • Africa: 5
  • Semi Countries or Disputed: Gibraltar, North Cyprus, Transnistria, Kosovo, Bailiwick of Guernsey and Bailiwick of Jersey
What Is In The Name?
A lot of my trips involve driving abroad. Either driving there or renting a car, and the road quality & driving standards are often poor.


Taken In Albania not too long ago and no, the rental was not a 4x4.

What Attracts Me To A Country?
A mix of: not 1st world and a bit of corruption, terrorism, crime or low democratic values.

What Des Not Attracts Me To A Country?
First world, modern and clean. Think Las Vegas and a good chunk of New York City.


This was a past work trip if you are wondering why I went there.
