Howdy all. I have no idea why I start so many posts with that, it just seems to, well, happen. Anyhoo, today I thought it was probably about time I re-evaluated my travel bucket list. Here we are in the midst of lockdown, plans for the Philippines gone down the plug hole, and many of …
Yes, it's time to turn to the Covid Cam again, and today it's a thoughtful conversation with friend of the blog, Tim Blight of urbanduniya.com . What were his travel plans for the year and what are they now? And how has travel been affected? When might this be over, and when might we take …

Hi all. It’s not usually my format to throw away the remit of writing about travel, but this week the world lost a great comedian, a gentle soul, in the British actor/comedian Tim Brooke-Taylor. Tim Brooke-Taylor is primarily known to me and indeed much of Australia as one third of the comedy trio ‘The Goodies’ …
Today it’s Cambodia on the mind. I saw interviews from people who have just returned home to Australia from Cambodia on relief flights as Cambodia moves to tough restrictions due to the Corona Virus, and it got me thinking a bit. What countries did I really learn something from by visiting? The first country that …
Howdy all on this 'hump day' which may not mean much to many out there. I intend to write a thoughtful piece on the impacts of the Corona Virus on travel and the travel industry, because it's effects have already been profound and it is safe to say the industry will never quite be the …

Howdy all. I thought I would talk about the three airlines I booked for my now aborted trip to the Philippines which I was due to take on the first of May. I had booked flights with SCOOT, Cebu Pacific and the regional Air Swift (in the Philippines) to get me from Melbourne to the …

Yes, we’re back at Jerusalem today but well, it’s Easter Sunday and it was in Jerusalem where the whole Easter thing started.

Howdy all. Another #CovidCam today, the fourth! I spend a bit of time analysing the numbers, and then talk about some of the things i'm watching under lockdown. How does a series about a pandemic which wipes out 4999 out of every 5000 people on Earth sound? What are you watching whilst we spend more …

Yes, it's time for the next Vlog - and it's a big one running at 25 minutes. But there's a lot to unpack and talk about, I put it up two nights ago and over that first night it got twice as many views as the previous one had gotten in nearly 2 weeks. If …
