Howdy there! I have wanted for a while to review some of the places I stayed at on earlier travels, and so that time has come. I will be going through the places I stayed at five years ago now on my big 2011, starting with Laos today. Hopefully it proves useful to readers! …

Hey ho! Time for a new series of posts. My three favourite cities of a particular region. Or towns, or spots, but probably cities. South East Asia seemed to be the logical place to start. 3/ Singapore Singapore is a great city, the most sparkling spot in all of South East Asia, and a lot …
In all my travels, I’m not sure I’ve been as impressed by an historical place as much as I was with the temples at Angkor, Cambodia. It wasn’t so easy to get to back then. A slowish train from Bangkok to the border between Thailand and Cambodia, and then I took an 8 hour ride …
Good Thursday to you all! In an effort to make the demands of this blog a little less on me in terms of writing, I’ve decided to make Thursday a day where I present many photos of a place (city, county, region) to you on the blog. And also to lessen the words you need …
‘Little Places’ – you know, not a whole city or country, just a little place somewhere in the world where there’s a little something special worth an hour or two of your time. Thus begins a new series of posts. And I am starting in Myanmar. A place near Pyin Oo Lwin, in the highlands …
Perhaps the one thing I really don’t look forward to when I travel is taking the bus. And when that’s an overnight journey, well, it’s a recipe for no sleep, a crick in my neck and an extended period of being uncomfortable. South America beckons later on this year, and there will definitely be a …
I always like to put my best foot forward, and here I am being perfectly normal on the platform at Yangon Central Station awaiting the train of yesterday's blog. (Read it here) And for fun I thought I'd share this restaurant sign from Nyangshwe in Myanmar too. This slick, professional design could be used for …
The final ‘Train Journeys’ from Myanmar. Sorry, meant to have this up months ago but the long queue of things I needed to edit just didn’t allow me time to do the video until this week! So, it was more than a year ago now that I took this trip – seems rather strange …
Ahhh beautiful Laos. Gentle Laos. Kind Laos. Of a similar size to neighbours Thailand and Vietnam, Laos has only a fraction of their populations at somewhere around 6.8 million people. This makes Laos a country with far more space per person. So it’s the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of …
The old capital of Vietnam was my first taste of this amazing country back in 2011, and it proved to be a great place to visit. I only spent four or five days in the former Saigon, but it was a great introduction to a country I was pretty excited about visiting for the first …
