Yes – I was finally back at a Youth Hostel after such a long absence. To be honest, even $30 which I was occasionally dolling out for guesthouse in Myanmar is much more than I would usually pay for a room. So it’s kind of ironic that I paid $NZ77 a night for a double …

It’s been simply ages since I wrote about my favourite African country, Ethiopia. Today in ‘first tastes’ I will refer back to 2009 when I flew into the capital to begin an amazing three weeks in Ethiopia. For those flying into Ethiopia, odds are you will be flying into the capital, you’ll be landing at …
The Waiotapu Thermal Springs is one of the most amazing places we saw in our short stay in New Zealand. Done on a short trip/tour from Rotorua, we took half a day to explore and walk around the springs. As for most of the attractions around but not actually in Rotorua, transport is a bit …

Take …
Sunday Spotlight has been a great little segment that I've enjoyed writing very much! Here are some of my favourites I've written about in the last couple of years! 5. Agadez Agadez is a desert city in the African country of Niger. It's a world away from everything, and perhaps the most remote place I …
So, to be truthful to you, I had originally booked another hotel in Sydney that was a heck of a lot cheaper than the Mecure. My pocket tells me I shouldn’t have changed, but the truth is I booked it really early knowing it was free to cancel up to a few days before the …

Although I’m in the process of reviewing all the experiences of my very recent trip to New Zealand and Sydney, earlier in the year I had an amazing trip to Thailand and Myanmar.
