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.

Foto Friday – That’s me! In Iceland!

On 13 May 201611 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, people, photography5 Comments

Oooh here we are with a very retro 'Foto/Selfie' Friday. Here I am in Iceland back in 1999 on my very first solo trip around the world. Above I'm in Reykjavik at the bay. Below you'll find me outside the hostel I stayed at near the capital. My goodness I look like a 15 years. …

Iceland Through My Lens

On 12 May 20169 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, photography, travel photography2 Comments

Following on from yesterday's post I am staying with Iceland this week. A land of harsh beauty, thermal springs, and when I was there in July 1999 amazing blue skies it's very photogenic. I say that knowing I didn't take that many shots when I was there, and of course it was all on film …

Little Places – Akureryi

On 11 May 201611 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn backpacking, Europe, hostels, travel photography, travel tips8 Comments

‘Twas a long time ago now, on an island far far away, that I journeyed from the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, northwards to the top of the land and a little town called Akureyri. Which is honestly quite difficult to spell. Iceland had been an interesting place to visit in 1999, although I did not …

Eurovision Time Again!

On 10 May 20169 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn Europe6 Comments

Oh yes, it's come around so quickly blink and you would have missed the year that was! Eurovision! When the countries across Europe come together for a song contest. And by Europe, I mean Europe, Israel and Australia! Australia is back at Eurovision after last year where Guy Sebastian became the first Australian to perform …

Parisian Memories

On 9 May 20168 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn backpacking, Europe4 Comments

In my life I’ve been in or through Paris a number of times. I have to be honest with you, it’s not a city I’ve ever really gotten to know – hopefully next year I’ll get the chance to really explore the city. My memories go back as far as 1986 when I was just …

Myanmar Through My Lens

On 5 May 20164 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn Myanmar, South East Asia, travel photography8 Comments

Good Thursday to you all! In an effort to make the demands of this blog a little less on me in terms of writing, I’ve decided to make Thursday a day where I present many photos of a place (city, county, region) to you on the blog. And also to lessen the words you need …

Little Places – Qutab Minar [Delhi, India]

On 4 May 20162 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn India, travel photography, travel tips3 Comments

Here’s a ‘little place’ I visited in India back in 2004. It’s in Delhi, but not in the centre so to get there you need to investigate public transport, or as I did, hire an auto-rickshaw. This proved a good idea for me as I was able to stop at I think three or four …

Air Crash Investigation Classic – Qantas A380

On 3 May 20162 May 2016 By Andy RoamsIn Airlines, travel5 Comments

After I started this series with an utter disaster where the most people died in a single crash in the history of aviation, today I wanted to give you the other side of the story. This is the Qantas flight that basically had an engine explode mid-flight after taking off from Singapore in a brand …
