Hi all. Today’s video takes me back to 2009 and the time I visited one of the Middle East’s most accessible and certainly rewarding countries – Jordan. I visited Amman, Aquaba, Petra and Wadi Rum in around two weeks there, and I hope this video whets your appetite for a country that is extremely rewarding and welcoming! If this has

It seems odd that I’ve never done a post specifically on the Shinkansen before. One reason is that I didn’t have ANY pictures despite having used the Shinkansen many times since first visiting Japan in 2011. So today’s Train Journeys is going to look at this Japanese marvel of modern technology getting you from A to B in the blink

My final journey which completed my trip from Beijing to Moscow began early morning in Ekanterinburg. Luckily my hotel was just opposite the train station, and I was there around 7am in the morning, an hour before the train left.

After four days in Ulaan Baatar and Terelj, it was very quickly on again by rail travelling a further 1114km to the Siberian city of Irkutsk, not far from Lake Baikal (around 60km). This, it turns out, was the shortest journey of the four legs of my Trans-Mongolian as far as distance covered. However, it was the second longest in

As far as journeys go, this might be the ultimate ‘World Journey’, well, okay, the real thing, not the ride. When I think of Disney movies that deserve a ride, this would probably be far from the top of the list. Not that I have EVER seen a movie of Journey to the Center of the Earth. And there have

Okay. Well here I am ready to start reviewing the four segments of my journey from Beijing to Moscow, around 8000 kilometres away, via Mongolia. The trip to the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bataar was 1426 kilometres, crossing the border at Erlian (China) passing through Jinignan, Zhurihe and Dzamynude and other towns that perhaps I will never know the correct

Hi folks. I’m on my way to the airport in Tokyo, about to fly home and conclude a six week trip that began shortly before midnight on the last day of April. It’s been another incredible six weeks but tomorrow I arrive home in the morning, with a short shift at work in the afternoon. What have I been up
