I'm Andy - I started travelling back in 1999 and fell in love with it straight away! Since then I have been to 103 different countries all over the world and visited every continent except for Antarctica. I love to visit places that are a bit off the beaten track - some of my favourite places include Central Asia, West Africa, India and Iran.

Andy in Tasmania – MONA!

On 4 Jun 20215 Apr 2021 By Andy RoamsIn Australia, travel, VlogLeave a comment

MONA in Hobart is the Museum of Old and New Art, one of the most visited places (if not THE most visited) in all of Tasmania. It's a creation on, around and inside a big hill, cut inside the rock below the surface. It's full of the weird, and depending on your perspective, the wonderful. And here's the vlog I shot about it!
