Howdy all! Today I’m rolling out a new feature called the ‘Nuts & Bolts Guides’. Trying to, in one post, deliver some basic but solid information on countries I’ve visited which might be useful for the first time traveller. Today we’re starting with India. Basically… Population: 1.34 billion Area: 3.287 million km2 Borders: Nepal, Pakistan, …
Howdy all, and it’s time for another face off between two opposing cities. Both in the Bengal area, but in different neighbouring countries, we have the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka facing off with the city that put Mother Theresa on the map, the city formerly known as Calcutta, Kolkata. Kolkata sits in the eastern part of …
So you may have noticed I’ve started 2019 off by posting on Cambodia a bit. My second ever backpacking adventure was a two month affair encompassing Cambodia, Thailand, the UK and then India on the way home, and I recently realised I’ve never scanned the pictures in from that adventure, so now seemed to be …
Hi all. Another 'Top' post looking back at 2018. Here are some of my favourite photos I took last year. What do you think? Thanks for stopping by today - May the Journey Never End!
Hello there! Well, this Sunday I am nominating my best eats for 2018. Now, whatever I may be, it’s fair to say I’m not really a ‘foodie’ – and I don’t really review restaurants as a matter of course. But continuing on the theme of ‘top…. Of 2018’ I’ve decided to focus, however briefly, on …

Hi there. Well it’s been ages since I’ve done a post on itineraries, so I thought I might as well look at my two experiences in Rajasthan and put together what I would recommend doing/seeing if I had a bit longer. Because it’s a large state and frankly slower travel in India is much preferable …
As readers should know, I loved Jodhpur when I visited a few months back now, in fact it became my favourite city in Rajasthan. It sits slightly below and to the side of the incredible Mehrangarh Fort which watches over the whole city of Jodhpur. In fact, it’s only a very short walk from the …
Hi all. I was going to give you a post about Romania this week, another 5-for style post, but then it occurred to me that a couple of days ago it was Indian Independence Day, and I thought I should probably get out one ‘India-themed’ post this week. That and suddenly (or slowly lol) I …
Around 9 kilometres from the incredible Rajasthani city of Jodhpur, is the town of Mandore. I hadn’t heard of this town before heading to India this year, and I probably would have missed it all together if I hadn’t felt like doing something on what I had sort of planned as a ‘rest day’ whilst …
