Welcome to the stunning island of Palawan, the Philippines. My first night here and I needed a place to stay after arriving by plane from Manila. So this is the place I settled upon, less than $30USD in the town of Puerto Princesa. How did I find it? Watch to find out! https://youtu.be/v2nZHCLX6Oc Thanks for …
Howdy all, and the tales of last year’s Dhaka to Dakar continue unabated, and this time I’m in the most popular tourist destination in Turkiye, and that is, of course, Istanbul. After around six weeks in the Sub-Continent and the Middle East I was now on the European continent, in Istanbul the city that sits …
Howdy all. Well I've (approximately) reached Istanbul in my telling of the story of Dhaka to Dakar, and I think it was one of the most photogenic places I stopped on the whole trip. So I'm sharing a few photos of the significant places I saw. The Hagia Sofia - Catholic Church/Orthodox Church/Mosque/Museum/Mosque is unquestionably …

It's time to see what it's like on a FULL flight with Cebu Pacific on Flight 5J 639 on an Airbus A321CEO from Manila, the Philippine capital to Puerto Princessa on the southern island of Palawan. Flying over the archipelago of the Philippines is impressive as the sun goes down. Check out this full flight …

Hi There! Yes another week and some more interesting currencies to share. Principally the Egyptian Pound, worth around 20 to the Australian dollar and around 31 to the USD. Sorry I only kept one Turkish Lira note, the 5 Lira note. The Turkish Lira comes in at a very similar rate, just under 20 to …
Howdy all! Continuing on from my time in Egypt, this is the story of 2023’s adventure ‘Dhaka to Dakar’. Today I’ll be recounting the not-very-well-thought-out tale of getting from Luxor, in Egypt to Istanbul, Turkey, by air. Luxor has a small airport although it does claim to be an ‘international’ airport. The reality is that …
Howdy all and welcome to another ‘Accommodation Review'. Today, I’m reviewing the somewhat interesting place I stayed when I was in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, which was a curious little guesthouse I guess which was in a lady’s house. I was hoping to keep the costs down at this point in my trip knowing …

My final day in Manila was super crazy, taking every form of transport imaginable including the MRT, LRT, tricycle and JEEPNEY!! In this vlog I visit a Shoe Museum displaying a collection of over 1000 shoes including a large collection of Imelda Marcos's shoes. The Chinese Cemetery was genuinely creepy, with some of the largest …
Howdy all. A little while back I shared some examples of the currencies of the countries I passed through - starting with Bangladesh and Pakistan (I had shared some Indian Rupee a while ago from a previous trip). So today I continue this travel through currency, and I have some Rial from Oman and some …
Howdy all. Continuing on from my previous post when I was in Luxor, I spent the first day in Luxor itself. The second day I devoted to the ‘West Bank’ (of the Nile) where it seemed the only logical thing to do was to book a tour. However, it did not all to plan. I …
