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.

When I first came up with the idea to travel around Britain as preparation for my attempt at the UK Citizenship Test I had no idea what an unruly beast it would become.
It has been nigh on impossible to wrestle all the offers, suggestions and tips sent in by you guys into a manageable itinerary.
The result is that I've been buzzing around the country like a Blue-Arsed Fly.
I've seen a lot. Done a lot. Drunk a lot of local ales. But I've still got a hell of a lot more to do.
I've booked in to do my test towards the end of February.
The idea is that I'll head up to the top of the country and zig-zag my way back down as a kind of revision course.
So if you contacted me and I haven't heard back yet, expect an email, text message or a knock on the door from me soon.
If you can't accommodate me, don't worry. I know a lot has probably changed in the nine months since I first sent out the call. It certainly has in my life.
If you can - great!
I look forward to meeting you.
Latest Book
Vroom by the Sea can now be pre-ordered on Amazon in the UK 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.
Update: Vroom by the Sea will be hit bookstores across Britain April 2009.
Latest Project
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.
