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.

THE TERROR THAT IS LEGOLAND.

I took Daisy to Legoland yesterday. It's school holidays so every kid under 12 in London was there.
I don't usually talk about Daisy on this blog. Two reasons. First - I lose all critical faculties when discussing her. Second - Sally is convinced some psycho fan will kidnap her. I tried telling Sally that my fans are normal but she simply reminded of the scantily-clad girl who kept sending me pictures of herself.
But I decided to risk the wrath of Sally so I could show you this photo.
It was taken on the Pirate Falls ride.
I laugh every time I look at it.
Does that make me a bad parent?
Latest Book
Vroom by the Sea is now out in Australia and New Zealand. 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. And a forum where you can register and leave suggestions here.
