Howdy all! Today I’m rolling out a new feature called the ‘Nuts & Bolts Guides’. Trying to, in one post, deliver some basic but solid information on countries I’ve visited which might be useful for the first time traveller. Today we’re starting with India. Basically… Population: 1.34 billion Area: 3.287 million km2 Borders: Nepal, Pakistan, …
There are four main theme parks on the Gold Coast – Dream World, Sea World, Wet N’ Wild and Warner Brother’s Movie World. Each have their own niche – Sea World is, you know, ocean based, Wet N’ Wild is a water theme park where, you know, you’re on slides and such, Dream World is …
A friend blogger of mine has been raving about Uzbekistan of late, and although I wanted to find a different country to write about this week, I couldn’t help but end up falling back to Uzbekistan because it really is a rewarding country to visit. Visas No More! The one issue that I did have …
It’s time for another rumble! And we head to Australia’s Sunshine State, home to the Big Pineapple (no really, that’s a thing!) and compare the Gold Coast, centred around towns such as Coolangatta and Surfer’s Paradise, and the Sunshine Coast, where you’ll find Noosa et al.

For the Russian Visa is not as straight forward to organise as most others. Whereas visas seem to slowly being phased out, or replaced with Electronic Visas which you can get …
Howdy all, and it’s time for another face off between two opposing cities. Both in the Bengal area, but in different neighbouring countries, we have the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka facing off with the city that put Mother Theresa on the map, the city formerly known as Calcutta, Kolkata. Kolkata sits in the eastern part of …

Westerners may typically imagine safaris and African animals, jungles, or perhaps poverty, whilst the north of Africa brings images of deserts and camels.

Last week I resented a list of cities that one visit is simply not enough. I hate to go negative, but this week I thought I would go to the other end of the spectrum, and look at cities where one visit may well be MORE than enough! Lagos, Nigeria With over 21 million people …
Happy Sunday! Today the post is about cities I’ve been to which I think absolutely DEMAND a second visit (if not a third or fourth).
