In keeping with the Saturday series I've been writing, here's a video - quite a longish one - I compiled of my trek to the Dogon Escarpment. At 28 minutes I think it's the longest travel video I've made. Interestingly I clearly made a mistake with one of the first captions. It says 'Ouigouyah to …
Welcome to a new regular-ish segment on my blog called ‘Seven on Sunday’ where I’ll talk about seven things to do or see in a place… well something like that. There’ll still be a Sunday Spotlight now and again as well, but I thought it was time to diversify from the rigidness of the same …
Today Mali isn’t really the first place you’d go in West Africa. It’s had militant problems and Islamists controlled part of the country for quite a while before French intervention, but I have been on the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree forum and I see the odd tourist is still going to Mali.

Hello folks, here I am on a Thursday with another itinerary for you. This is my 2004 itinerary for the USA. Now, I also visited the US in 1999, and interestingly enough I returned to all the places I did in that trip in 2004, obviously plus a few others. This one is going to …
When travelling there are lots of different events you might like to attend from festivals to Eurovision. No seriously, it’s awesome and why wouldn’t you? But I think there’s something incredibly special about attending a wedding when travelling. I’ve attended at least three (off the top of my head) when travelling, two in Germany for …
Monday's travel video this week is, in keeping with my Saturday post, from Burkina Faso 2007. I return to the scene of the 2006 with a mate and a happier attitude. The video is twelve minutes long and it features Ouagadougou (the capital) and Ouhigouya, on the way to the border with Mali. There's a …
Welcome to Yokohama, Japan’s ‘Bay City’, a place with a hellovalot going on to keep you entertained and interested for days. Yes, the spotlight is shining Japan way and Yokohama is in the centre! The visitor to Yokohama might be justifiably overwhelmed when first arriving. In some ways, though far bigger, nearby Tokyo is easier …
For the last series of Saturdays I have pulled out some old blogs and reflected on my first journey to West Africa. You might think that after contracting malaria in Burkina Faso and the difficult time I had during the trip in general, I’d be sworn off the place. You’d be wrong! After my 1999 …
Japan is full of big, beautiful red gates just like this one near the lake at Hakone.
