Yangshuo, China, on a Bike!
Southern China is filled with many splendours, not least of which is Yangshuo and the area around it which is green, lush, with amazing mountains like Rio – seemingly out of solid rock, and the gorgeous Li River, so beautiful people get their wedding photos taken by it and they put it on the 20 …
Why Not Consider… Laos?
South-East Asia is a non-stop smorgasbord of interesting, fun, exciting places for the traveller. Thailand is the prime hub I guess in many ways, with beaches, trekking, the nights and lights of Bangkok and more, Malaysia offers all that but in smaller doses with a fair dose of colonial history and architecture if that’s your …

Little Places – Kampot, Cambodia
Hi all. 'Little Places' today is taking me back to the year 2000. It was November-December and I was on my second ever solo backpacking trip, and first stop was South East Asia. Cambodia was the country to be explored, and I had met up with three random travellers who had connected on the Lonely …
Itineraries – Cambodia
Well. Today, I thought I would look at a possible itinerary for Cambodia. I know a couple of people who have been there recently, and things are a little different these days from when I went there back in the year 2000. For example, there is now a proper road from Siem Repp to the …
