Hi everyone. Just a quick little post today – you may have realised that I haven’t posted in nearly a week, so here’s the deal. I’m pretty exhausted right now! I’ve been doing on average 6 posts a week for a few months now, and on top of that working an average of over 90 …

Remembering the Dogon Trek, Mali
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 …

Seven things to do in Melbourne in Spring
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 …

Off to New Zealand!
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 …

West African Memories – Burkina Faso and Malaria
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 …
