In August 2007 Kate Andrews left England on a cargo-ship to volunteer in Central America. Ten months later and she is now in the middle of the Pacific Ocean having sailed from Mexico to Australia, recently getting sidetracked on the idyllic island of Tonga. Kate has set out to prove that there is a whole world of possibilities out there for people who choose to travel without flying:
"I’ve done some things that most people only dream of, from sailing across the Equator with a glass of fake champagne, to showering in a rain storm and barbecuing steaks off the back of the yacht while drifting through the Doldrums. I’ve seen more flying fish and dolphins
than you can shake a stick at (this was hindered only by the fact that I didn’t have a stick to hand), but most importantly, I survived. All this excitement, however, was on the good days..."
Back home, her brother Jamie has been busy building a website to help inspire others to follow in Kate's footsteps and embark on a low carbon travel adventure.

As well as showcasing long-distance adventures, the website also advises young people on how to get to festivals in Europe without flying.
