How many countries are actually on the conventional ‘tourist track’? Actually, probably most of the countries in the world if you think about it. If you told someone you were headed to Iran, presuming you were living in a “western” country, you would probably expect that who you told might be a bit surprised, perhaps …
Howdy all. Well, I’m back in Melbourne after four days off up on Queensland’s Gold Coast, staying at the Mantra Legends Hotel (review to follow in the next couple of weeks). It was a much needed and much enjoyed break where I was actually pretty busy every day. It’s been five and half months since …
Howdy all from the Gold Coast on my last day here, returning to Melbourne tonight. The weather has been brilliant, 25 - 27 degrees and mostly sunny the whole time, and I've really had a chance to unwind and enjoy where I'm at - yes first Sea World and then Movie Word - 'Hollywood on …

Howdy all. Today I thought I would do a thoughtful type of post, and reflect on my time in Pakistan some 15 years ago. 2004 was a hell of a trip, it was my plan to go from Bangladesh to Europe (and then onto West Africa, which didn’t end up happening that trip). It was …
Howdy all. Today we have Tim Blight from urbanduniya.com doing a guest post. And he's taking to us IRAQ!

So you’re looking for a holiday destination, wondering where to go, somewhere different, a bit …
West Africa is not the first region people think of travelling to, especially from the west. The capital cities are often where the most money may be – in any country, not just in Africa – and they often can shine a little light into the past as well. Some cities show evidence of an …
A new day, a new week. I’m going to try and publish an Australia-based post each week. And today I am taking you to a place from my childhood – Melbourne’s Luna Park. It’s an amusement park in the area of St Kilda, almost on the beach in one of the most popular parts of …

Folks, the sequel to last week’s Travel Memories Cambodia Part One is here! I carefully and thoughtfully named it ‘Travel Memories – Part Two’ because you know, I’m very creative 🙂 Sooo last week I had recounted the journey from Bangkok through Poipet and Battambang to Siem Repp and the Temples of Angkor. This week …
Happy New Year! A simple post today - I did one of those interactive maps that tells me where I've been. Well, no, I entered in the countries I've visited and then it colours them in on a map. I've never posted one before so here it is! Here's to adding to this map in …
