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.

Melbourne’s Events and Festivals

On 10 Dec 201925 Oct 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Australia, Melbourne, travelLeave a comment

Hi all. Melbourne is a city which always seems to have something on, from the Melbourne Cup to various different festivals. Today I’m doing a bit of a list with the rough time of the year these events happen – as they are not exact and often change! Midsumma Festival – LBGTI festival featuring shows, …

Port, Porto, Portugal

On 10 Dec 201910 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel, travel stories3 Comments

Have you ever wondered where Port wine came from? Well, it's right here in Porto, northern Portugal. Oh, you knew and it's just me? Well now I feel stupid. Anyways, it's hard to believe that come Saturday I'll home in Melbourne and reality will be sinking back in. But before then there are just a …

Landing in Lisbon

On 4 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn blogging, Europe, travel4 Comments

Yes, I’m back at it again, this time from Portugal. The last proper stop of this journey (bar a few hours in Singapore on the way home) has me visiting Lisbon and Porto. We touched down yesterday morning, thanks to a time difference between Spain and Portugal slightly before I left Seville. The approach over …

Knowing Melbourne – City Circle tram

On 3 Dec 201923 Oct 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Melbourne, travel tips1 Comment

A very quick one today. Transport in Melbourne – Greater Melbourne, can be a headache to say the least. And if you’re heading to Melbourne any time soon, be aware that there are more works going on regarding the trams and trains (and also roads) than I have ever seen at one time before. Although …

You can’t stop me with my alliteration! Well, here I am in another town, another place, same country! So again begins the process of bringing you up to speed on the latest from me and this year’s adventure. As I last wrote, I was on my second last day in Barcelona. My last day whizzed …
