Howdy folks. As my next trip excitedly approaches – yes I will be in Bangkok this time in two week! I continue to prepare. Where am I at? Well, seen the doctor for anti-malarials, got my visa for Myanmar and hotels are all booked. I have a good idea of the things I want to …
2007 and I visited Lithuania along with the other Baltic Countries. Perhaps nothing so amazing as the 'Hill of Crosses', a short bus journey from Šiauliai, a university town north of Vilnius. It's a hill covered in crosses, perhaps 100,000 of them dating back to the 19th century standing in memory of those who fell in …
And so it was that I left London via Stockholm to go to a little island out in the middle of Atlantic Ocean known as ‘Iceland’. And what a strange, confronting and challenging 2 weeks it would turn out to be. What can I say about this country? It’s well, not over-endowed with trees. That’s …
Today’s spotlight, well, there’s only so much I can tell you in words about this place. Stary Smokevic is a little mountain town in Slovakia, not far from the Polish border in the Tatra mountains. It’s really a beautiful little spot. I first learnt about it in 2004 when I entered Europe via Bulgaria in …

Don’t you hate it when you head somewhere and then years later realise, you have no idea where you were? Now with my diaries from this trip gone, I can only guess at the name of the town I stayed at when I was in the county of Devon, in the south of England. It’s …
Howdy all. Sorry again for a week-long absence from the old blog but I’ve spent all my limited free time in the last week video editing and rendering files and frankly, whew! But the bulk of what I had to do is done now. Before I go even for what is a shortish trip (for …
I read a blog earlier this week talking about places that weren’t well known but really worth visiting, and Lyon was amongst them. Which sort of surprised me because I thought it was well-known. I loved Lyon. It’s really a glorious city and despite being there in 40 degree heat during August 2011. I can’t …
One of the most amazing cities in Iran, Yazd features mud-brick buildings aplenty and is a wonderful place to explore.
Hi everyone! In the new year I am searching for some new ideas for posts, and this is one I’ve come up with ‘Value Destinations’ – that’s places that I reckon represent a decent bang for your buck. Some places can be quite frustrating because money disappears at a rate if knots, your accommodation is …
