Or if you prefer, my top five as I started the top ten last week with numbers 10 to 6. You can find that post HERE. But here are, or should I say were, my top five when I listed them a couple of years back. I would (and plan to) revisit the list at …
Budget Airlines are an interesting kettle fish, are they not? Fifteen years ago I guess they started up, and today they are everywhere. They are great for the shortish haul flights more than anything. They can get you from A to B really cheaply – if you book on the right day, for the right …
Last Sunday I started with this post, talking about seven countries that are great for those keen on keeping a tight budget. I soon realised it was pretty long and then decided to split it over two posts. So last week was 7 to 4, now for my top three J I hope it’s useful …

In the second part of my interview with Chris Goldby we theorise on what would be the perfect 'round the world itinerary, and look at some of the best places he's been to in his travels. We talk quite a bit about Vietnam in this podcast too! I hope you enjoy this …

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. This Sunday, with Christmas sneaking up behind me quietly but very quickly, I thought I’d return back to Myanmar and do a …
Transport in Myanmar is not always modern, fast or comfortable, but it is often unique. Here, in the hill town of Pyin Oo Lwin, a colourful carriage pulled by a tired looking horse. Not sure it could pull my weight...
Welcome back to Myanmar, where the train rides are bumpy and adventuresome! I love a little train ride with a good reputation for adventure, and here is one such ride, from Pyin Oo Lwin to Kyaukme (pronounced Chow-mei). This is only part of the journey as the train goes further on to Hsipaw and Lashio, …
