Forget crazy locals, crime and dingy hostels; some of my most life-threatening traveling experiences have involved road trips. In fact, it’s much easier to compare flight tickets, hop on a plane and head somewhere all inclusive than it is to tackle these horrendous highways. And whilst sitting by a pool and soaking up the sun might be risk free, it sure gets dull after about 20 minutes.
I don’t know about you, but I'd much rather have an adventure!
Thanks in part to living and travelling in one of Europe’s most under-appreciated countries, Cyprus, I have developed nerves of steel when it comes to dangerous driving. In fact, it’s kind of given me a taste for it and now, I’ve got a bit of a thing for mountain roads. I’ve been through the Alps in the middle of winter, on precariously high off-road dirt tracks in southern Italy and through the Lake District in torrential rain.
