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.

Accommodation Review – Renion Park Hotel
My stay in Almaty, Kazakhstan, was another very brief stop on my way to explore more of Central Asia, and with a lack of hotels near the airport I was consigned to schlepping my way into town for an evening and then schlepping back out to the airport the next morning for my 11am flight …
Around Melbourne – Acland Street, St Kilda
Last week I wrote about the Chapel Street Precinct, not too far from the CBD in Melbourne. Then last week after that post I caught up with an old friend in St Kilda’s Acland street, another vibrant area of Melbourne. Acland street is actually often the place that backpackers will come and stay if they …

Airline Review – Business Class Malaysian Airlines, Singapore to Kuala Lumpur
October 28th 2019, the second day of my adventure, the shortest plane journey of the seven weeks from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. Both were mere overnight stays, both at the respective airports.

Around Melbourne – Chapel Street and Chapel Street Bazaar
Hi all. Today just a short little ‘peep’ into a part of Melbourne, into the area of Chapel street, which stretches from the suburb of Windsor to Prahran and South Yarra. It’s a popular strip stretching from the Princes Highway to South Yarra, and you’ll see it change bit by bit as it goes from …

Khiva in Pictures
Hi all, and welcome to another week. We're starting with a visual post this week, looking at the highly photogenic city if Khiva in Uzbekistan. I stayed for only two nights, and was surprised by the number of tourists there at that time of year. It's an old city in surprisingly good condition, due in …
Has Travel Gotten Too Expensive?
So ummm… well no. If we are asking ‘Has travel gotten too expensive to the point where it stops people, including myself, from doing it?’ However, I have to say, after this year’s adventure, I am becoming quite startled at some of the costs. Three main cases in point spring directly to my mind – …
