I have recently been planning my trip next year furiously. I am a planner, although I don’t mind sorting it all out on the road on a longer journey when I’m only away for a few weeks I like to plan it out a bit so I don’t miss anything I’ll regret later. I have …

If you’re travelling to Europe from Australia, or indeed Africa from Australia as I was in 2009, it’s hard to go past one of the Emirati Airlines because the trip is nicely portioned into a 14-hour journey from Dubai or Abu Dhabi to Sydney or Melbourne, plus a shorter trip to the other two continents. …
Ahhh Prague – How I remember thee in 1999! It really was an awesome 5 days, even if I can’t remember all of it or even half of it! I took an overnight train from Amsterdam to Dresden. I was very happy that I paid an extra 40 bucks or so to upgrade to a …

Hello folks! I was looking through some of my belongings the other day and I found my old passport. The one I used in 2011, until disaster struck! After spending most of the year travelling, I gave my trousers up to be washed by my host family in Georgia where I was teaching English for …
Across the world, or at least a few cities that I can think of, Fringe Festivals are where it’s at for a bit of culture, drama, expression and comedy. Today, the fifth of October, marks the very end of this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival – Starting midway to the second half of September each year …
