The first city on my trip last year I was able to spend any time in was the Tajikistan capital of Dushanbe. It wasn’t a city I had done a lot of research into before getting there, or seen a lot of images of, so it was really a bit if an unknown to me. …

So. Air Astana. How is it? I mean, it’s probably not an airline you’ve considered flying unless you were heading to Central Asia, but actually it could be a useful airline going forward coming from Asia to Europe. It’s reasonably priced and connects primarily through a quiet airport in Almaty or further north in Nur …

Howdy all, time for another hotel review, and this time it of the flashiest place I stayed in Tajikistan, the Grand Hotel in the northern city of Khujand. At $92AUD a night (or around $60USD) it was by far the most expensive place I stayed whilst in Tajikistan too, however I can say that it …

Researching Tajikistan before going, some of the travel times looked a bit daunting. Especially from Khujand in …
My stay in Almaty, Kazakhstan, was another very brief stop on my way to explore more of Central Asia, and with a lack of hotels near the airport I was consigned to schlepping my way into town for an evening and then schlepping back out to the airport the next morning for my 11am flight …
Hi all, and welcome to another week. We're starting with a visual post this week, looking at the highly photogenic city if Khiva in Uzbekistan. I stayed for only two nights, and was surprised by the number of tourists there at that time of year. It's an old city in surprisingly good condition, due in …
A tiny village in the mountains, not far from Iskander-Kul, Tajikstan. Hope you are well wherever you may be! May the Journey Never End!
Hi all. I wanted to share this photo with you today from the Turkmen capital, Ashgabat. Independence Park is a large park filled with paths, lights, fountains and statues. From this angle though you see a bit of the city in the distance, a few apartment buildings, everything looks almost perfect in its way. And …
