Mad Dogs and Englishmen
“That twat Harry Kane is facking shit! If I were in charge I’d leave him behind. And that twat Alli ‘nd all!” By the time I arrived in Jagtial, John had been walking alone for almost 4 weeks and hadn’t told anyone how much he hated Harry Kane in that time. Poor fella must’ve been about to blow. It was plain to see his opinions on striker hadn’t changed since the last time I saw him. I had flown to Amsterdam on my own last summer to meet up with some friends but this was my first proper solo travelling experience. Jagtial is 4,858 miles away from Southport and it felt it after my first encounter with a couple of Indian blokes in broken English outside the room.

Luckily, because South Korea has many American military bases, the language barrier wasn't extreme, but it was still challenging. The Korean language is a beautiful language and as I attempted to educate myself on their language, I learned it was a difficult language as well.

For me, foreign travel has always been a contentious issue at the best of times but it seems more so now than ever before, what with complex international relationships right across the world developing into an ever-decreasing spiral of animosity and fear. With that in mind and with the constant media coverage of war and terrorism bombarding us 24/7, the prospective traveler might find it difficult to even sum up the will to leave the comfort and safety of his or her front room.
