Yes - we're all still in lockdown in most countries across the world, so here is the third (and most likely final) in my series of lockdown stories from across the world. Today I am joined by Gino, a YouTubing travelling from Romania and the USA, friend of the blog from his own blog and …

Hi all. It’s not usually my format to throw away the remit of writing about travel, but this week the world lost a great comedian, a gentle soul, in the British actor/comedian Tim Brooke-Taylor. Tim Brooke-Taylor is primarily known to me and indeed much of Australia as one third of the comedy trio ‘The Goodies’ …
So everyone - I have been sorting through boxes and boxes of old photos, some from travels, some not from travels. In 1986 my parents took my brother (8) and myself (11) on a trip with them, and these are some of the photos from that trip. In fact, in a rare move, I am …
G'day all. How is your Monday going? Well, here's a little idea I had to collate some experiences from other bloggers from around the world of what it is like in lock-down or just generally as we all deal with the impact of COVID-19/Corona Virus on all our lives. So today I have short experiences …

West Africa is not a tourist hot spot, I know, but there is something about the region which is unique and thoroughly worthwhile. As an introduction to the region you could choose probably one of three countries – Senegal, Cameroon or Ghana. Ghana is a relatively easy country to get into the swing of. It …

Howdy all. Today I thought I would do a thoughtful type of post, and reflect on my time in Pakistan some 15 years ago. 2004 was a hell of a trip, it was my plan to go from Bangladesh to Europe (and then onto West Africa, which didn’t end up happening that trip). It was …
Happy Thursday to ye all. Today I want to show you a very special Eurovision song from the contest in Sweden in the year I was born, 1975. This was the competition following on from Abba's huge win in 1974 with 'Waterloo'. The 1975 winner 'Ding-a-dong' from the Netherlands has not stood the test of …

Hi all. 'Little Places' today is taking me back to the year 2000. It was November-December and I was on my second ever solo backpacking trip, and first stop was South East Asia. Cambodia was the country to be explored, and I had met up with three random travellers who had connected on the Lonely …
