They are separated by more than 8,000 miles, and for most people a day's plane travel, yet a University of Nottingham academic is on a more unusual route between the UK and Malaysia.

Associate Professor Suzanne McGowan is returning to The University of Nottingham after a three year secondment as Head of the School of Geography at The University of Nottingham Malaysia campus.

Instead of taking a plane she has decided to make the journey using a network of 16 trains and three buses via South East Asia, China, Siberia, Russia and Europe.
