Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
Sri Lanka. It’s a destination becoming more and more popular with tourists as the years go by. Many are considering it one of the hottest destinations on the planet, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s India but on Valium. It’s not as big, there aren’t as many people, and therefore it is definitely more chilled than its neighbour

Hi all. Today is a guest post. As some of you may recall, I do ‘Doctor Who’ Fan Fiction thing on Youtube. Earlier this year I enlisted the help of friend of the blog, Tim Blight, to shoot an episode of a four part serial whilst he was in Lahore. It was the second part to our anniversary story ‘The

Howdy all on this Sunday. I was a bit surprised to realise that I haven’t done an ‘Itineraries’ on Japan, so I that’s what I’ve settled on this week. Japan is a country which has so much to offer the visitor, and with shinkansens taking you the length of the country at 200 kmph plus, the good news is that

Howdy all. No – I’m not IN Lahore. But it’s a city that has been recently on my mind for a couple of reasons. And … I’ll start with Doctor Who, because I think that’s what started this whole thought cycle in the first place. The sixth episode of the latest series of Doctor Who was called ‘Demons of the

Howdy all. Sunday’s are presently when I’m planning on giving you a few itineraries as the basis for the blog post. Today though, I am thinking out loud about where I’m hoping to go in around 12 months time, which is a trip to Europe and a ‘stop’ in Central Asia on the way. Yes, the inverted commas are deliberate.

Hi there. Well it’s been ages since I’ve done a post on itineraries, so I thought I might as well look at my two experiences in Rajasthan and put together what I would recommend doing/seeing if I had a bit longer. Because it’s a large state and frankly slower travel in India is much preferable to fast travel. Also, you

Hi all. Today I’m turning the spotlight on Galle. It’s a wonderful spot in southern Sri Lanka, not too far from the capital Colombo, only a few hours by train, I think the fastest trains only take a little over two hours. Whilst there are many places with colonial ties all over the sub-continent, nowhere is quite like Galle, with

Ahhh yes I know, if you’ve been following this blog this year you’ll already know I loved Nuwara Eliya. The idyllic little Hill Country town in the mountains with rolling hills of green, a lake, and curious old world charm. You might even find yourself near a crackling fire in the evening, something that’s rare for this part of the

Howdy all. One of the most ‘fabled’ cities on the old Silk Road is without a doubt Uzbekistan’s Samarkand. It has a number of sites worth seeing, and a great place to experience Islamic Architecture. It’s a beautiful city, with wide roads and then miles of little backstreets in the old parts. When I visited I stayed in a little

Flying from Australia to Europe is a long, LONG journey, and bar an experimental flight from Perth to Europe (London I think) you need to change planes at some point in the Middle East or Asia. There are many options – off the top of my head Doha, Abu Dhabi, Delhi, Colombo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Singapore and
