Since the introduction of air travel, nothing has revolutionised travel as much as the internet. Amazingly, ‘travel agent’ is still a thing, when you consider that it is perfectly possible to completely book your flights, accommodation, ground transport and travel insurance, and indeed tours from the comfort of your computer, tablet or phone in 2019. …
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 …

And that’s nothing to be sneezed at! And rail may not get you to every nook and cranny of the country, but it …

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 …
Travel to Africa is often seen as exciting, adventurous, exotic, and perhaps a little dangerous. Westerners may typically imagine safaris and African animals, jungles, or perhaps poverty, whilst the north of Africa brings images of deserts and camels. If there is one country in Africa that can defy most expectations, though, that country has to …
