The numpties
In Jules Verne’s novel, Phileas Fogg goes round the world in eighty days on a bet, with a timetable for every train and steamer.
We have no bet, no timetable, and a well-earned reputation for wandering off the beaten track.
Reza and Faiza left home in Windsor on 15 October 2026 to go round the world, visiting our two sons on the way: Rayyan, who is teaching English in China, and Nael, who is studying in Sydney.
This site is for family and friends to follow along. Every flight on it comes from our actual bookings, so when we get lost, you’ll know exactly where.
