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 …
Hi everyone! Just a quick post today - I've been featured on a wonderful travel blog by Tim Blight who writes on Australia and Pakistan mostly. I did an interview where I had to choose a city and talk about it - I chose Almaty. Please do check it out! Andy Loves Almaty Ok, I …
Welcome to a new regular-ish segment on my blog called ‘Seven on Sunday’ where I’ll talk about seven things to do or see in a place… well something like that. There’ll still be a Sunday Spotlight now and again as well, but I thought it was time to diversify from the rigidness of the same …
For the last series of Saturdays I have pulled out some old blogs and reflected on my first journey to West Africa. You might think that after contracting malaria in Burkina Faso and the difficult time I had during the trip in general, I’d be sworn off the place. You’d be wrong! After my 1999 …
High everyone! Well, I am taking just over a week’s break in November, and the exciting news is that I will be headed to my 71st country, New Zealand. Yes, you’d think that an Aussie would get to New Zealand before they were 40, especially a traveller, but somehow it just never happened. I did …

Howdy again. Just for one little day I’m taking a break from the Central Asia theme and returning to the ongoing story of my time in West Africa in 2006, reviewing my old blog entries and reacting to reading them again. And we’re at the tipping point today, when I contracted malaria. Actually it’s been …

Continuing on with my flashback to 2006, we start this week in a country many people don't know much about - Niger, a giant, desert-like country north of Nigeria. Tuesday, February 07, 2006 A way away Well a post has disappeared.... It wouldn't save a few days ago and now it's gone.... I noticed In …

Hmmm. Yes, it’s one of those thoughtful posts which is possibly going to be too much about me and not enough about anything else. But really, if we can’t be introspective then we can never learn, become better people or you know, walk backwards in the rain on a Saturday evening. So yes, this post …
