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 set off on a journey across Australia in an old camper van with my wife, Veronika and my dog, Mindy, before travelling overland around Southeast Asia for 6 months. I am now back in Brisbane and travel as often as I can.
I often travel alone, however these days I am usually jetting off with my beautiful wife Veronika.
When I am travelling close to home I am also often joined by Mindy, a dog full of character. (Sadly, after 15 years of adventures, Mindy passed away in 2021).
In 2018 a new chapter of my travel life began when I became a Dad. We now have two gorgeous daughters. Zara has already enjoyed lots of adventures, and our little baby Emilia is ready to go when the world opens up again. We can’t wait to show them the world.
Inspiration and the future
I have created this site as a way for me to fulfill my passion for travel writing and photography. 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
