About

Welcome

The Road to Anywhere is a comprehensive travel blog with a strong focus on independent, cultural and adventure travel, which are all documented through my personal travel stories, destination tips and photography.

About Me

My name is Dean Wickham and I live and breathe travel and adventure. To me there is nothing more exciting than exploring a new place, a new culture and tasting new food. I’m the kind of person that gets restless really easily and hates to be in the same place for too long.

I am originally from Perth, Western Australia, but currently live in Brisbane, Queensland. I have travelled extensively through many countries across four continents and I’m always planning my next trip.

I am a bit of an adrenaline junky and love the outdoors and adventure. When I travel either close to home, or to other parts of the world, I like to make it a personal experience and get as much out of it as I can. I have done a lot of trekking in Australia and New Zealand, summited Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, climbed through ice caves on glaciers in New Zealand and trekked to Mount Everest Base camp in the Nepalese Himalayas.

In 2013 I am setting off on a journey across Australia in an old camper van with my wife and dog, before heading to South East Asia for 6 months.

I often travel alone, however these days I am often joined by my beautiful wife Veronika.

Veronika is a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart.

When I am travelling close to home I am also often joined by Mindy, a dog full of character.

Inspiration and the future

I have created this site as a way for me to fulfill my passion for travel writing and photography, and to hopefully one day become location independent so that I can see more of this incredible world that we live in. I also want to be able to help and inspire people to get out and see the world. I honestly believe that travel makes you a much wiser, stronger person, and that it makes you see life so much clearer. One of my favourite quotes is this:

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” – St Augustine
