The wonderful thing about working with hidden europe is the access it affords to a fabulous range of eccentrics.

Despite cautionary mutterings from hidden europe, Kris set out from Britain on 1 November 2007 with not a penny on him. Not even a credit card for any little emergencies that might arise.
It was while we were pondering Kris' fate that we first heard from Mark Cundy who told us of his long walk around the world in 2004 and 2005.
