A brief travel retrospective on 2013

I wondered why I hadn't written this post in 2013 (it's the end of 2014 now), and I can see why: 207,000 miles, two trips of which were around the 30,000mile mark each. Truly knackering and, towards December, disheartening, too. The locus of travel was largely around North America, en route to Japan and Australia. In 2014, it's interesting to see how this has changed. The long way round, perhaps, but much more interesting in terms of stopping off on land en route to the other side of the word: Dubai and Singapore in particular became hot points in 2014, where they don't even figure in this map!
