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.

Folks - I found another video I want to share. It's Noel Philips this time, but he's not boarding a flight, he's taking a train. A newish train from Mombasa to Nairobi in Kenya. There was an old line that I think ran all the way to Uganda once, although I don't think it has …

This time I'm bringing you the Japanese town of Takayama, up in the hills in Honshu. Come and see through my somewhat grainy footage from 2011 what this place is like with its floats, retro museum and huge temple on the top of a hill to a new religion I know nothing about!
