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.

Woo hoo! First book published by Vagabond Editions.

And it's a freebie! It's called The 40-Year-Old Vespa Virgin and first appeared in a Lonely Planet anthology called Flightless.
Before you get too excited, I should point out that, basically, it's Vroom with a View, abridged down to 3,235 words. There's a few new lines in there, but I figured it would be best to experiment with an old anthology story than bugger up something new and fresh.
Anyways, it's available now in all it's DRM-free glory and in any eBook format you can think of here at Smashwords. Download it, take it out for a spin, and tell me if you find any typos or other glaring errors.
Thanks too for the huge response to my call for help last week. I made it the day before heading off on a week's holiday - not the most sensible thing to do, I know - and I'm slowly working my way through your emails now.
And, finally, if you've come to this website after reading the book and you want to check out some pics from the trip, just click on the Vroom with a View link to the right.

Vroom by the Sea has been released in the UK and you can order it on Amazon by clicking here
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.

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 needed 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.
That's where you guys came in. I've always believed the best travel experiences come from personal recommendations. And when I put the call out for your tips and suggestions I was overwhelmed by the response. Some of you were crazy enough to let me kip on your couch.
Right now I'm sifting through all my notes, photos and hazy memories to write an account of adventures called Blimey.
No concrete publication dates yet. But I'll let you know as soon as I know.
