Let me tell you, a city known for the world’s first atomic bomb being dropped on it, is 60 years later a wonderful place to visit in Japan. I really can’t recommend Hiroshima enough, it’s simply brilliant. If you travel to Japan and don’t get there, you’ve really missed out on a city that has …
Sunday Spotlight today returns to West Africa to the land-locked country that despite my trials there I still have a soft heart for – Burkina Faso. The capital city is the ‘fun-to-pronounce’ Ouagadougou, and whilst it is not a city with a million sights to see, it has a certain character that makes it a …
Despite the history of Rome or the grandeur of Paris, one city I will always love above them both in Europe is London. Seriously, for any die-hard Doctor Who fan and fan of things British (within reason, I ain’t no monarchist) London is the stuff of fantasies and more. It’s a freaking awesome place once …

Let me tell you about one of the best places to eat in Melbourne. Oasis Cafe is admittedly in the suburbs - very close to my house actually I can walk there! But if you're looking for Middle Eastern food, or indeed Middle Eastern ingredients in Melbourne, this is THE place to go! Not only …
I have recently been planning my trip next year furiously. I am a planner, although I don’t mind sorting it all out on the road on a longer journey when I’m only away for a few weeks I like to plan it out a bit so I don’t miss anything I’ll regret later. I have …

If you’re travelling to Europe from Australia, or indeed Africa from Australia as I was in 2009, it’s hard to go past one of the Emirati Airlines because the trip is nicely portioned into a 14-hour journey from Dubai or Abu Dhabi to Sydney or Melbourne, plus a shorter trip to the other two continents. …
Ahhh Prague – How I remember thee in 1999! It really was an awesome 5 days, even if I can’t remember all of it or even half of it! I took an overnight train from Amsterdam to Dresden. I was very happy that I paid an extra 40 bucks or so to upgrade to a …

Yes, finally I can announce that a new adventure is on the cards come February next year work commitments permitting – I should be flying off for three and a half weeks in South East Asia. To actually be thinking about travel again in the future tense rather than the past tense is awesome. The …
When choosing my Eurail pass I chose to add the section of Europe ‘Benelux’ onto it – this includes three countries whose names combine to form the word ‘Benelux’ – Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. I was going to two of those countries, and after the Netherlands I was considering my options. In the end …

I made my way this afternoon to Kyabram for a sad occasion - my grandfather passed away last week. Well, he made it to 94 and that's a life to be celebrated in my book. On the way up with my wife (thanks to her for some of these pics) I missed a turn in …
