Remembering the Dogon Trek, Mali
Hi all. I am planning a post for tips on Dogon Trekking as it seems a few people have been interested by my posts on this amazing place. That should be coming during the next week! For now I will continue on with Saturday’s theme of reminiscing. What follows is my one and only …
Travel Video – Dogon Trek, Mali
In keeping with the Saturday series I've been writing, here's a video - quite a longish one - I compiled of my trek to the Dogon Escarpment. At 28 minutes I think it's the longest travel video I've made. Interestingly I clearly made a mistake with one of the first captions. It says 'Ouigouyah to …
Marching into Mali
Today Mali isn’t really the first place you’d go in West Africa. It’s had militant problems and Islamists controlled part of the country for quite a while before French intervention, but I have been on the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree forum and I see the odd tourist is still going to Mali.

Travel Video – West Africa (2006)
Howdy folks as another week kicks off. With my series of Saturday posts on West Africa, I thought now would be a good time to show you my short (5 and a half minutes) video I compiled of my time in West Africa. It's a combination of photos and short films I shot with the …

Travel Itineraries – Ethiopia
Hey folks, I thought I’d start up a new series of posts on some of my itineraries. Thought it might be useful for anyone planning a trip to various places at the very least, and I could talk about how I went about it and what worked, what didn’t. My trip to Ethiopia …
