Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
The following post was written at various points of the day on the 11th of March, 2018 as I begin my latest trip. I’ll complete the blog later but right now I’m writing from my first flight of the journey, on Scoot Flight 109 Melbourne to Singapore. I am in Business Class – Scoot Biz, which isn’t a full Business

Hi all. Yes, I finally have my copy of friend of the blog Tim Blight’s Pakistan Traveller. ‘Dare to take the road less travelled’ is the catch phrase, and quite an apt one at that! Tim’s book is really the only travel guide out there that’s current for Pakistan. When I travelled to Pakistan back in 2004 I used the

Howdy all. Hope you are well and getting into the new year with a smile on your face! Sorry you haven’t heard too much of me of late. Actually I’ve been occasionally checking the views I am getting and finding they aren’t down as much as I was expecting, which is interesting because you know I spent much of 2017

Hi folks I’ve never visited Capital City North Pole. I hear it’s pretty cold. The forecast is for snow. There are many reindeer and short people. I hear the guy in charge is pretty generous. Maybe I’ll go one day! Thanks for following the blog in 2017. I won’t be posting much if at all for the next few weeks,

No no, it’s not ‘closed for reconstruction’ or anything like that. I’ve taken the chance to update some of my ‘country’ pages, and more to the point to create a few new ones. These ‘country’ pages list all the posts I’ve made on a particular country. So I don’t usually do a Saturday post, but I thought I’d do one

Today’s post is an interview with Tim Blight of UrbanDuniya, a great travel blog which focuses on Pakistan and Central Asia (plus much more). Tim has recently re-released his book ‘Pakistan Traveller’, and I thought it would be a good idea to put some questions to Tim. Enjoy! Hi Tim. So a few weeks ago you launched the second edition

There’s no doubt the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world. It’s the most popular thing to see at the Louvre, the most popular museum in Paris, the most popular city (for tourism) in the world. So. It’s pretty popular. It’s almost like this is what tourism now is – a fight. For what? For the photo.

Well, I’m writing this on the train from Paris to Noramandy. Another whirlwind three and a half days have come to an end here in Paris. I was happy to go to Paris because I don’t have any decent photos of the place. I’ve passed through a couple of times in 2006 and 2011 but this was the first time

Well, it’s that time, almost time to take off! I am leaving tomorrow night just before midnight Melbourne time and flying via Hong Kong to Beijing. It’s odd, the first time I can recall working on the day I leave. But – my packing is sorted, tickets too. I hope! Not much left to do now but get through two

Travel. Backpacking. Both have changed an incredible amount in the last two decades. My first solo trip was 18 years ago now. Early February 1999 and I headed out on my first round the world adventure stopping in Thailand as my first stop. Khao San Road was far more basic compared to today. No fast food chains on the road,
