Biedjee's Travel Blogs

Work in progress blog about the preparations of my next big adventure

Three weeks overlanding from Vic Falls to the Cape!

Some words and pictures of my various trips to Norway, the land of fjords, vikings, northern lights and herring!

A tale of rip-offs, theft, hangovers, road rage, an earthquake and cruising all seven hills in an old 2CV... Just your typical trip to Rome

Blog about my business trips to Cairo in 2008 and 2009

Many records were broken this meet-up: it was the largest meet-up ever, with more countries represented than ever before. It was also the first meet-up on a boat. But most importantly it was the first in seven meet-ups where I *didn't* forget to bring my camera :-)

A weekend break to Stockholm turned into a week-long road-trip around Denmark and Sweden. It's a tale of self discovery, breaking boundaries, courage and friendship. Four countries, two men, and a car named Tweety.....

Had to go to the US for a three day customer workshop. My boss asked me to stay the weekend, because the flight would be cheaper that way. Who am I to refuse?

Blog of the trip I took with my sister, taking the train from Moscow to Beijing and spending two weeks in Mongolia halfway

little blog about me going undercover for the Dutch government, smuggling illegal hardware to Africa...

In 2007 I travelled with a friend to three of the countries of the Levant: Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. This blog is a translation of the diary I kept at the time.

Map and photos of my loop around Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.

90-day trip around all countries of the Central American mainland: Mexico-Belize-Guatemala-El Salvador-Honduras-Nicaragua-Costa Rica-Panama. I started off this trip by staying with a friend in Guadalajara, then travelled with my sister through Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. Then on my own to cityhopping Salvador, diving Honduras and climbing volcanoes in Nicaragua. And for the final stretch a mate joined me for Costa Rica and Panama.

Map and some photos of my trip around Cuba

a map and some photos of my slightly unplanned trip around the world. The map outlines the general route I took, not counting the backtracking and double visits. Currently I am scanning some photos of this trip, but be patient, there are a lot of them! Argentina - Chile - Easter Island - French Polynesia - New Zealand - Australia - Bali - Hong Kong - Macau - Singapore

Map and some photos of my second trip around South America. Blogs coming soon! Argentina - Uruguay - Paraguay - Bolivia - Chile - Patagonia

some day I will create a greatest hits blog, for now it is just a boring map and some photos. Check out my separate entry for the trip from La Paz to Puno though. Mexico - Peru - Chile - Bolivia

My journey out of Bolivia during the civil unrest which had brought the entire country to a grinding halt. A combination of luck, pesistance and stupidity made that I became the only person to travel from La Paz to Puno on 8 July 1999. I have placed this story in a separate blog so that I could zoom in on the map to illustrate the route and add photos. It's a long story, but worth it.

My first 'big trip': 2 months through 10 states in the US of A. It was a great adventure, largely because of the fact that we didn't know what we were doing. This was before I had discovered the functionality of a Lonely Planet guidebook, so our trip was mainly planned using fly/drive itineraries. We managed though, and saw a lot of great stuff. For now it is just a map and a couple of recollections - I need to scan some photos
