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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Potosi, Bolivia, a pleasant enough town in the centre, but the chief reason for tourists to go is to take a tour in the silver mines in the hills that surround this town. And that’s why I stopped there. Why did I want to visit a silver mine? Well, to be honest, it was something …
Howdy all, and Happy New Year! Yes, it’s been a whirlwind and incredibly busy time (just like all the time it seems to be honest) since I set foot back in Australia in early December. I managed one post since then and that was already written pretty much. I’ve been working as much as possible …
