Sunday Spotlight – Kyoto
Some places you go, you just enter and BANG! You are in love. When people go to Japan, I think it’s no big deal to skip Tokyo, or not to worry too much about Osaka, but you simply have to go to the place that won my heart in less than one of its beats …
Trip of A Lifetime – Planning and Prep
I’ve been lucky enough to have in the last fifteen years probably three ‘trips of a lifetime’ as well as several awesome shorter trips intermingled between them. Today I take you back to my very first trip (solo) which took place in 1999. How did it come about? Well, I finished high school in 1993 …
Gateway Countries – Czech Republic (Eastern Europe)
So folks, for the last one for now in my series of gateway countries, I’m heading to East Europe to a place that so many people are going these days, the Czech Republic. I could have named a few countries I liked more than the Czech Republic, and I was on the cusp of …

Foto Fridays – Shield of Bones
This picture is from the Sedlec Ossuary in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. The Ossuary is decorated with human bones making it pretty gosh darned unique!
Train Journeys – Cairo to Aswan (Egypt)
There’s no doubt that Egypt is a stunning and unforgettable place to travel. With such large distances between places, and little but desert between them, apart from flying trains are probably the best way to get around. It was 1999 when I went to Egypt, and the country was a lot happier than it can …
A Serious View

Today, a little proof that I don't just go to far off bizarre destinations most of the world don't seem to consider like Niger and Kazakhstan. There is little doubt that the world's most recognisable tower is the Eiffel Tower, and in a shock to …
Football and the Suburbs
You folks might remember my recent post about going to the AFL. That’s the nationwide league for Australian Rules Football here. Well, if you’d like a chance to see Australian Rules Football a bit more like the way it used be, there are state leagues with games on most weekends during the winter. It’s salt …
Payhip to the Rescue!
I'm pretty excited today because I made my first two sales through Payhip this weekend. Payhip allows me to sell via pdf format to pretty much anyone so they can read it on anything pretty much any device. Also, I get around 90% of the takings which is nice, but after several months up there, …
Sunday Spotlight – Astana
Every week I get to Sunday and I have to put up my ‘Sunday Spotlight’, and I gets to thinking, then thinking a little more and then, yes, a little more. No, it’s not that there are no cities left, but that there are so many interesting ones out there that it’s so hard to …
