For the last series of Saturdays I have pulled out some old blogs and reflected on my first journey to West Africa. You might think that after contracting malaria in Burkina Faso and the difficult time I had during the trip in general, I’d be sworn off the place. You’d be wrong! After my 1999 …
Japan is full of big, beautiful red gates just like this one near the lake at Hakone.
Howdy all on this fine Sunday! I hope you’re well wherever you may be. Today’s ‘Sunday Spotlight’ is more of a photo journey because there isn’t that much to say about this pretty little French village that isn’t better expressed in photos. I visited Lac Leman, in Savoie on the French and Swiss borders in …

This is a pretty comprehensive video from my 2011 visit, running at 20 minutes. You’ll see me in Luang Prabang …
If there’s one city in Europe that I would go back to time and again, it must be London. It is without a doubt a city that is in my heart as much as my hometown of Melbourne. I wouldn’t plan a trip to Europe without going. From it’s amazing railway stations, to buildings, the …
