WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

My name is Peter Moore and I go on grand journeys and write about them. I've travelled overland from London to Sydney and from Cape Town to Cairo. And more recently I bought a Vespa as old as I am and rode around Italy.

I hope my stories convey what I love about travel - the adventure, the laughs, the tough times and the incredible hospitality of people in the most unexpected places. Most importantly, I hope my books make you want to hit the road yourself.

Just out the door on a family holiday to Mallorca so things could get a bit quiet around here for a bit.

Of course, I'll try and update the site when I get the chance. But just between you and me I'm not planning to go out of my way to find wifi hotspots and internet cafes. More sun, sea and a bit of quality time with my girls.

Having said that, I'll have my iPhone with me. So if I get a little bored - and the roaming data rates don't put me off - I'll try and do a few updates by using the Wordpress app on the phone.

It won't update this page here so make sure you pop by my blog here to see if there's any news.

Now where did I put that straw hat?

Latest Book

The latest release to hit the shelves

Vroom by the Sea can now be pre-ordered on Amazon in the UK by clicking here. It is already available in bookstores in Australia and NZ.

It picks up where Vroom with a View left off, and sees me riding through the sunny parts of Italy a few months before my daughter is born.

All your favourite characters are back. And a new one is introduced - a bright orange Rally 200 called Marcello.

Update: Vroom by the Sea will be hit bookstores across Britain April 2009.

What I'm working on now. And how you can help

I've been living in the UK long enough now to apply for a British passport - the holy grail for those of us who want to be able to live and work in both Oz and Europe.

To get a passport I need to sit a citizenship test about life in the UK. The Home Office produces a book you can study. But I thought it'd be more fun to travel around the UK and observe life here first-hand.

The plan, of course, is to write a book about my adventures, tentatively called Blimey!

This is where you guys come in. I've always believed the best travel experiences come from personal recommendations. So rather than rely on guidebooks I want to use your tips and suggestions. And if you'll have me, I'd like to kip on your couches.

I've set up a special section on the website to explain it better here.

Or you can email me directly with your suggestions/offers of a couch here.
