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 – Grand Peak Hotel, Ella
A bit of a way from Nuwara Eliya, along a beautiful train ride through the mountains of Sri Lanka’s ‘Hill Country’, is the town of Ella. Once a bit of a secret to the crowds, Ella today is a bustling tourist hub of the foreigner, and the occasional Sri Lankan tourist too. It seemed like …

Why You Must Visit India Before You Die!
This is what I have maintained since a little while after my first visit to India – it’s the one country that despite fears or worries you might have, you really need to go there before you die. Why? Because, amongst the amazing sights, experiences and people there, you will find some perspective on this …
A Short Trip to Sydney!
So, last weekend, I took a journey to Sydney. A very short one mind you – it was just one night. I parked at Melbourne Airport, which I’ve never done before, and took a morning flight. With a train into the centre of town, it was easy as getting into Australia’s Harbour City, and I …
Accommodation Review – Trevene Hotel, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka
The hillside town of Nuwara Eliya is something a little special in Sri Lanka. Lakes and cool weather, a gateway to the area, a wonderful train ride there and further afield. And the Hotel Travene, where I stayed there back in late March, is also something special. The English have a long tradition of trying …

Jodhpur’s Incredible Mehrangarh Fort
If there were an award for most amazing fort of the year that I dished out from my blog, then the clear winner for 2018 would be Mehrangarh Fort, sitting atop a rocky hill 420 feet above the blue city of Jodhpur. Why – I visited forts in Jaipur, Jaisalmer and Delhi whilst in India …
Airline Review – Sri Lankan Airlines
This year I had the opportunity to take Sri Lankan airlines for the first and second times. I flew from Delhi to Colombo and from Colombo to Melbourne. Sri Lankan Airlines is a full service airline based in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo. And if you want a direct service to or from Australia, …
City Rumble – Cairo Versus Amman
Let’s head to the Middle East for today’s ‘City Rumble’, I am surprised I haven’t included Cairo in a City Rumble before, and I don’t think I’ve really posted about Amman before at all. So anyways, here we are with the capitals of Egypt and Amman facing off against each other. They are, on the …
The Amazing Healesville Sanctuary
Hi All! A little shout out to a place I went a little while ago, and a place I’ve been a few times in this ol’ life, the Healesville Sanctuary, which is around 75 – 90 minutes from Melbourne. Whilst you will find a number of really good zoos in many cities in Australia, I …
Train Journeys – Jodphur to Delhi
The final train journey in India for me this time round was the 611 kilometre, 11 hour journey from Rajasthan’s blue city Jodphur to the Indian capital, Delhi. I took the Salasar Super Fast, Train number 22422 in 1AC, a class I didn’t remember booking and one I had never taken before. This was the …
