So, welcome to the last episode in ‘The Interac Experience’. I’ve told you about the orientation, trainings and a bit about the teaching. Let me tell you about the students and the rest today! Absolutely, without a shred of doubt, the best part of the Interac Experience was the students, and the people. Depending on …

As selfies get more and more popular, I wanted to show you my favourite. Yes, this is the picture I use as my profile pic, but I simply love it. I was waiting for an hour or so at the bus station in Douala with a couple of kids behind me. Yes, I was being …
Following on from finding my 1999 photos, even though I don’t specifically have any from this trip, I was reminded about it. In Russia, stations are often named after their destinations, a somewhat novel approach perhaps but it makes a bit of sense too I guess. So when you head to Moscow from St Petersburg, …
Yes folks, I wanted to bring a couple more posts to your attention. There are so many inspiring travel bloggers out there, here are three awesome posts from three great travel bloggers out there. Firstly, Derek Freal. He's out of Indonesia now thankfully and safe enough. Here's the blog he put up when he was …
I mean – come on! There’s no place like it in the world. It’s simply a place you HAVE to go. I’ve been twice. It’s so bloody BIG! Seriously. It just goes up and up and it’s really long (Manhattan Island for you!) What can I say? I first visited NYC in 1999 and although …

Howdy all! Work has started to kick in, very busy workwise this week so will do my best to keep a-blogging but it won't be so easy. Today's blog is about travelling songs. I have a dedicated 'genre' on my ipod for travel, and I wanted to share with you my top five from that …
Contrary to what followers of my blog might be led to believe considering what I have been posting for years, I have actually been to the American Continent. And so I will be shining the spotlight over in that direction today and maybe next week too. When it comes to Canada, and to Quebec (Province) …
