Transport aid for people affected by upheaval and displacement


Started as just PressGo - simple overland to East Europe taking Dad back to Budapest in my motorbike luggage.

20 years later & about 10 laps of Kazakhstan & the Silk Road - yes, I did get a bit distracted!

Going by Moto, truck and basic camper van.

Beyond Borders: There's a 20 year photo / diary archive in development, sharing the stories, experiences and photo/films from the roads, just basic raw and real type imagery from the journeys.

Simple ways to keep exploring by road, set out and go. Help other travellers when-ever I can.

Lots to share & happy to help other travellers, overlanders & photo'rs - whilst I also discover! writing PressGo Discover
