Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
Arriving after a day on a train in Delhi at half past ten at night, greeted by the usual array of auto-rickshaw drivers asking inflated prices, the only thing I wanted was to relax in a comfortable hotel room. And I’d booked ahead as I always seem to do these days. In fact I think this was the first hotel

I couldn’t resist setting up my action camera when I got a shave at a little barbershop in Pushkar, India. It’s a great experience, almost therapeutic! And so I sped the footage up so that it runs for just over one minute. – Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by – May the Journey Never End!

Howdy folks. I thought I’d spare a few thoughts on Sri Lanka today. After this year’s visit in late March-early April, I’ve visited Sri Lanka twice, and I have to say it’s a wonderful destination in Asia. But – and here’s the warning – the secret is well and truly out! Visiting Sri Lanka in 2018 you certainly won’t be

I had extremely good luck whilst in India this year, most of the places I stayed at were really good, and the KP Heritage Haveli in Jodhpur was no exception. In fact, this one was really special as it was a special building, in a busy part of a great city, with exceptional views of the hills and the Jodphur

Hi Everyone! Time for a photographic post for you. Here are some images from the incredible camel safari in the Rajasthani desert I was lucky enough to do back in March! I rode atop Raja, a pretty big camel, along with a group of around 15 others. Enjoy! First Day – from Jaisalmer into the desert! As you can see,

Jaisalmer is the city in the desert, where there is a huge fort (okay, that’s kinda standard for a town in Rajasthan), some interesting historic buildings (Havelis) and where people spring board into the Rajasthani Desert to take a camel safari. Also, there are a surprising number of shops dubbed ‘English Beer and Wine Shop, which I must admit I

Hi all! Today I’ve done a bit of an interview with Friend-of-the-Blog Rob Lloyd and his partner Caitlin. Why? Well it’s heading into Winter soon, but they’ve got a brand new show on ‘Wizard Actors – A Brief History of Magic’ next week in Melbourne. If you’re a Harry Potter fan, or a theatre fan, or would like to check

Hi all. Well every year… most years, I have a Eurovision post. It happened around 48 hours ago now, the 2018 Grand Final of Eurovision in Lisbon, Portugal. So here we go for this year’s thoughts, and not just this year’s but thoughts on Eurovision’s incredible 62 and a bit years of competition. 1956 saw the first competition, this year

Ahhh hello. Yes, the ‘humble’ tuk-tuk. I’ve spent a fair bit of time in them in my travels. A lot of fun, or a lot of hassle? Or perhaps a bit of both. I’ve gone with ‘tuk-tuk’, although in India I used to know then as an ‘auto’ or indeed ‘auto-rickshaw’. I’ve also heard the term ‘Trishaw’ as well. In

Ahhh I need to post something about somewhere that wasn’t on my recent trip to India and Sri Lanka! But what to post? Ahhhh yes, I’ve written about it before, but why not Copacabana. Bolivia that is. Because I don’t think I could possibly classify the glitzy beachside suburb of Rio as a ‘Little Place’. But Copacabana certainly is. It
