So this is a real ‘reminiscing’ post, because right now I wouldn’t risk putting myself through any sort of challenging hike because I don’t think my fitness would come close to coping. For example last year I struggled hiking in Tajikistan at the Seven Lakes. It was a great hike – and it will feature …
Hi all! Well, I may not have got to go to the Philippines as planned this year, but it doesn’t mean I didn’t get to enjoy a marvellous holiday at an undisclosed location, but let’s just say that with some time off work in the last week I have managed to have some ‘time away …
Yes, I said I would take a bit of a look through my photos of my first proper overseas trip (that I could remember at least) and present some to you, and the time has come! 1986 saw my brother and I's parents take their sons on a trip through Hong Kong, Europe and Beijing …
Howdy all. I have no idea why I start so many posts with that, it just seems to, well, happen. Anyhoo, today I thought it was probably about time I re-evaluated my travel bucket list. Here we are in the midst of lockdown, plans for the Philippines gone down the plug hole, and many of …
Howdy all. So here’s the idea right. It’s self-isolation time for many of us. It’s minimising social interactions and going out. With Covid-19 or the Coronavirus if you prefer, staying home is a big thing right now. And one thing that it’s virtually impossible or at least highly advised against doing is travelling, particularly internationally. …

Howdy all, today I’m doing one of those ol’ lists where I suggest a few places you might not have considered visiting but I thoroughly recommend. Perhaps you have some countries you consider ‘hidden gems’, here’s a list of five from me! Uzbekistan Here’s one that previously I might not have put on the list, …

Roads are, it’s fair to say, essential infrastructure to any country. They’re not merely to help people get from point A to point B, but a boost to the economy of a country, and Tajikistan is no exception. Researching Tajikistan before going, some of the travel times looked a bit daunting. Especially from Khujand in …
Yes, now it’s time to take a few select pickings from my adventure October to December 2019 (you know the one, I write about it a LOT!) and declare them the ‘highlights’ of the trip. Yes I did CRAM an awful lot into seven weeks, and as I look back on it, I am able …
