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.

On 20 Dec 202027 Oct 2020 By Andy RoamsIn Central Asia, travel10 Comments

From Niyazov to Nazarbayev, Karimov to Rahmonn, each country in Central Asia has been blessed or cursed depending on your point of view to have such individuals at the helm since the fall of the Soviet Union and their own independence in 1991. So, let’s see if we can match the President to the country!

Halong Bay – Through My Lens

On 15 Dec 202024 Oct 2020 By Andy RoamsIn South East Asia, travel photography11 Comments

Today I want to take you to one of the most beautiful spots you can find on this globe, a brilliant destination where travellers hop on board a boat, as I did a few years back now, and float around this amazing destination.
