Here is a full list of My Printed Book Anthology By Jonny Blair (1980 – 2024)
Backpacking Centurion Series – A Northern Irishman’s Journey Through 100 Countries
My first book series is Backpacking Centurion which covers my journey from country 1 (Northern Ireland) to country 100 (Tunisia), from 1980 until 2015. This series of four books were written on the road and were finally released from 2020 – 2023. The first COVID lockdown (March to June 2020) was the time when most of the editing and formatting was done.

Volume 2 – Lands Down Under (2020)
Volume 3 – Taints And Honours (2021)
Volume 4 – The Black Volume (2023)

My second book series “This Is The Next Century” covers my journey from country 100 (Tunisia) to country 200 (British Virgin Islands/Tortola) from 2015 until 2021. This series of four books were written on the road and were finally released from 2024.
Volume 1 – Aftershot (2024)
Volume 2 – Starogard Girl (2024)
Volume 3 – Average Inhabitant (EST 2025)

Untitled Series – A Northern Irishman’s Journey To The 220 Plus Club
After New Year’s Eve 2021, I worked out that British Virgin Islands was my 200th country and therefore the third series will be my country count from 200 onwards until the journey ends. This is very much in the early days with no exact titles for books yet.
Volume 1 – Untitled (EST 2026)
Volume 2 – Untitled (EST 2026)
