Yes, that's right, I made it to Machu Picchu. One of the seven wonders of the world, Peru and probably South America's greatest tourist attraction, I made my way here. Bucket List Item - cross it off! So... What did I think of it then? What's it like? Well. I am well aware of just …
Hello from Lima. But my journey into Peru will be the subject of another blog post. Today I want to share a very little about my time in my last stop in Ecuador. Yes, I've left this amazing country for another. Gees it sounds so sordid when I put it like that! But my last …
Well folks here I am on Isla Isabella, the largest island in the Galapagos. Another long expedition from Quito to Isabella - starting at 430am and ending around 12 hours later. Firstly up at four for a pickup at four thirty to Quito Airport. At the airport we all had an extra baggage search as …

Hot in the mornings, cools down around 1pm and then in comes the rain! Quito's historic district, the 'Old Town' - where I'm fortunate enough to be staying …

Well. Here it is - my last post before I jet off to South America on Sunday morning. I'm back with another photographic journey (as far as my camera skills will let me) to the land-locked West African country of Niger. A mostly desert country, Niger is probably the most remote country I've ever visited. …
Yes it’s THAT close now! Pretty exciting for sure. Actually it’s proven to be a very surreal time in Australia as I count down to Sunday when I fly out to Quito. But the strangest thing has happened. You may recall my posts of last year and I think the year before about going to …
Hello, and welcome to another 'Through My Lens'. Today I feature a series of shots from Sri Lanka, a place I loved visiting and wish I had way more time there. I really only visited Kandy and surrounds (including a day trip to the amazing Sigiriya) as well as a bit of time in Colombo …
Time for three cities to step into the ring in the Baltic showdown to end all showdowns! Okay well, not quite. However, the three Baltic capitals are all cities with something special and indeed different to each other. And it's been ages since I did a city rumble so it was well overdue! The Baltics …

Down the south of Jordan in the Middle East is a very special desert called Wadi Rum. I don’t write much about Jordan, probably because my memories are not so strong from my time there and my diaries are all gone, but it really was a great country to visit for a couple of weeks. …
