Can you go on a year-long world tour on just 2,000 pounds? This 21-year old university drop-out can show you how to do it. From washing laundry and cooking dinner over an open fire in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia to camping in the Indian Himalaya and staying with hospitable local families with a cycle and a budget of just six pounds fifty pence per day, Shirine Taylor has travelled 7,500-miles from India all the way to Turkey.
