Andy's Journeys to 71 countries & counting!
Hi all. Today’s video takes me back to 2009 and the time I visited one of the Middle East’s most accessible and certainly rewarding countries – Jordan. I visited Amman, Aquaba, Petra and Wadi Rum in around two weeks there, and I hope this video whets your appetite for a country that is extremely rewarding and welcoming! If this has

You know I concentrate the bulk of my city rumbles on well-known places, but I thought it was time to write a bit more about Central Asia so I hit upon the plan to pit the capital of Kyrgyzstan against the capital of its neighbour, Uzbekistan. Bishkek is the pleasant, leafy capital of Kyrgyzstan, a country that when you type

Hello! It’s time for another ‘Through My Lens’ where I select some of my photos from a particular place I visited and turn them into a post! Today I am reminiscing about my time in Iran, back in 2004. It’s hard to believe that it’s twelve years ago now! I crossed the border from Pakistan (it was part of my

My trip to Mali and Senegal was a few years back now. I took Royal Air Maroc in and out of West Africa, and I thought I might as well take a couple of nights (basically just one day) in Casablanca as the flights were all routed through there. Yes, Casablanca, which found fame in that film called… called… the

Down the south of Jordan in the Middle East is a very special desert called Wadi Rum. I don’t write much about Jordan, probably because my memories are not so strong from my time there and my diaries are all gone, but it really was a great country to visit for a couple of weeks. Wadi Rum is in the

Hi everyone. I’ve decided to do some reblogging of a Saturday. I’m going back in time and pulling out interesting old posts from my old blog back before I publicised or anything like that (so they haven’t been read by many people!) It’s interesting as an exercise and serves as a bit of a time capsule too. Today I head

Hi folks! Welcome back to Travel Itineraries, a segment I began last year and did a couple of posts on. I still have a few things to write about on New Zealand, they will now move to the Wednesday slot as I’ve reviewed all the accommodations and flights from that trip. The idea with the travel itineraries is to give

One’s first impression of a country usually has a big impact on the rest of the time you spend in a place. If you get a good vibe after stepping off the plane, that can often last with you for quite a while and make your experience somewhere positive. In exact contrast, if you have a bad start to a

Howdy everyone! I’m very excited to be bringing the podcast back after nearly an 18 month sojourn! I’ve been busy recording a few episodes and finally the time has come to launch the new series with a fantastic interview with Tim Blight, who writes the Urban Duniya blog – which can be found HERE. Tim is a dedicated traveller who

These breathtaking tombs, known as Naghsh e Rostam, are something to behold. Not least because they START so far up the cliffs – must have had some decent step ladders back in the day. They are not far from the ancient ruins of Persepolis and most guides will include them in a day tour. Hope you’re having a great Friday –
