Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
I should start today’s post off by saying that pretty much anywhere in the Galapagos can be classified as a ‘Little Place’ – it’s not as if it’s teeming with thousands upon thousands of people. The towns and islands are thankfully sparsely populated, and the number of tourists allowed to visit I think is also limited. But I think the

There are several must-sees (although they all escape me :P) and several must-dos when you are in Egypt. For me, there was no competition – the best was taking a Felucca down the Nile River for three days and two nights. A few months ago I was given a bunch of photos from my time in Egypt, 1999, which had

Yes, back to West Africa again. Transport in West Africa is possibly THE reason to go if you’re seriously into adventure. I say this because every journey in West Africa is a major adventure. From tro-tros to share-taxis to buses and even the occasional train, West Africa is not for the feint-hearted who like smooth travel. No sir, it is

Yeah so here we are again and this time I thought I’d look for some ultimate fun – theme parks! There’s a big kid inside me still – and the idea of going to a theme park still sounds pretty exciting. Even if the last one I went to was a bit of a disappointment – Tokyo Disney Sea. So

Howdy all! Today I turn my lens to Mongolia, the incredible windswept country I visited last year on my Trans-Mongolian train journey. I entered from China in the south to Russia in the north, with time spent in the capital Ulaan Baatar and a short visit to Terelj. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by today! May the Journey Never End!

Hi all. Today we have a GUEST POST! Sarah Sackville from http://www.supboardguide.com who has written a piece about the ‘Granite Belt’ in Australia’s Great Dividing range, which pierces through the eastern part of Australia from Queensland down to Victoria. Many thanks to Sarah for this great article! And for giving me a chance to take it a little bit easier

Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, as I may have mentioned in previous posts, is a cool, green wonderful region in Sri Lanka (naturally enough!). The roads are winding and often quite busy, but there’s no doubt about the best way to see and get around the Hill Country – and that’s by the train. There is a line basically from Colombo

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 whole wide world by spending

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 face of it, very different

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 premiere class I think, there
