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.

On 28 Aug 202226 Aug 2022 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel6 Comments

Howdy all! Well, last Tuesday I caused some raging controversy when I published my post on countries I recommend visiting in Europe and there was some backlash because I didn’t include France nor Germany in that list.
