Jaisalmer – Forts and Camels
Howdy all. Jaisalmer is the incredible 'Golden City' in the desert, Western Rajasthan not far from the Pakistan border. It's quite the magical place and has an historic fort that overlooks the entire city. And it's also the starting point for a camel trek, which is the main reason many travellers make there way out …
Essential Tips for Travel to Tajikistan
Folks last year I went through three countries in Central Asia, all with the pluses and minuses, but ultimately three countries I enjoyed travelling.

My Best Hikes
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 …
My Incredible Vacation 2020!
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 …
Memories of my first Overseas Trip – 1986
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 …
