It’s been a while since I did a ‘First Taste’ – this is a series of blogs I’ve done on the place I first arrived when I went to a country, also for the first time. So today I’m going back a couple of years to the town which introduced me to Myanmar, the hill-village …
Welcome to a new week! Today's video is one I compiled from my time in Vietnam, 2011. Wonderful wonderful warm country! I visited Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi and Halong Bay, and here's a pretty long (18 minute) video with the highlights! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for …
Bangladesh is full of amazing smiles, amazing faces. From Bhola Island to Rajshahi, the faces we met - a long time ago now (2002 and 2004) made photos on their own. Most of these are, or perhaps I should say were, children. I hope you enjoy these photos. Thanks for dropping by today, take care …
Did I call my last Ecuador blog something similar? Anyways, a few hours ago I passed the border into Bolivia and am now in my third country of this South American adventure. I'm in Copacabana - not the one of Brazillian fame rather the one on Lake Titicaca just over the border into Bolivia from …

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 …
