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.

Howdy all, time for another hotel review, and this time it of the flashiest place I stayed in Tajikistan, the Grand Hotel in the northern city of Khujand. At $92AUD a night (or around $60USD) it was by far the most expensive place I stayed whilst in Tajikistan too, however I can say that it …

Bishkek in Pictures
Today I'm going back to 2011 when I was in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek. I found it a really likable city - spread out, full of parks, memorials and statues. Went to see a local opera at their opera house and was joined by a company of soldiers, which was quite interesting. Anyways, hope …
Melbourne’s Beautiful Shrine of Remembrance
One spot in Melbourne that I think often gets overlooked by visitors is its amazing Shrine of Remembrance, which is located on St Kilda roads in the precinct of the Botanical Gardens. It sees its fair share of visitors without being massively busy, I visited it a few weeks back and frankly was surprised by …

Singapore Airlines – Second-Best Airline in the World? A Review
Howdy all. Flicking the clock back to the 27th of October 2019 now to the first flight I took in the trip, from Melbourne to Singapore with Singapore Airlines.

For Australia Day – Some posts about Australia
Hi all. Well, as I write this it is Australia Day here (January 26th), a controversial day these days. It's our 'national' day, and the date was chosen as it's the day that white man arrived on the east coast of Australia. That's where the controversy lies really, it marks the day everything changed for …

They’re not merely to help people get from point A to point B, but a boost to the economy of a country, and Tajikistan is no exception.
