I thought maybe going across the world, I was going to be met with some hostility all over.

I thought I'd be sort of challenged a lot with that.

But in actual fact, I found that

Everywhere you go, there are incredibly hospitable people, very friendly people, very kind people.

And they'll stop by the side of the road and give you water, food.

The world is a much more friendly and kind place than we see it to be.

because obviously everything that you hear on the media, on the news, you're kind of only really hearing the bad side, but in actual fact, the world's a much kinder place than you deem it to be.

He actually took a lot less time than I did, but that's for various different reasons, because we had different journeys and

I had numerous different side quests which I went on.

In Pakistan, I ended up going on motorbikes around the north for a month because it was going to be a lot easier than having to stop for all the escorts.

They give you military escorts in the lowlands near the mountains.

So, yeah, I did numerous different sort of side quests, which took a lot of time in Nepal because we ended up spending three months hiking the bikes up the mountains in the Himalayas.

We did Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp and Everest Base Camp all with the bikes.

And that was part of my dad's recreation because my dad was the first person to take a bike up to Everest Base Camp.

So I had to one-up him.

So there's a bit of competition for you.

I had to one-up him.
