Tigre on the Parana Delta, Playground to Argentina’s Rich and Famous!

On 7 Dec 202018 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn travel11 Comments

Today I’m writing about a little town which I believe is just outside the city borders of Buenos Aires, Tigre. This little destination is 28 kilometres from central Buenos Aires, and it makes an ideal day trip from the Argentine capital.

What is Makkah Really Like? – Guest Post by Tim Blight!

On 6 Dec 202024 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Middle East, travel5 Comments

I'm very excited today because Tim Blight has given me this amazing guest post about his visit to Makkah in Saudi-Arabia. I think for many we can't image the Islamic pilgrimage to their holiest city, and today Tim reveals a little about just what it is like.

Basically Beijing – The Forbidden City and the Great Wall!

On 4 Dec 202015 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn travel, Vlog13 Comments

Today I'm taking you to destination BEIJING. And back in time three and a half years to when I was there last. My first time as an adult in the Chinese capital, and I had to return to two places I had been many years before in 1986 - the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City. And that's today's video for you, a short but sweet one! Enjoy!

Essential Tips for Travel to Kazakhstan

On 3 Dec 202022 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Central Asia, travel, travel tips8 Comments

So. Destination Kazakhstan? Perhaps not one you’ve ever considered, possibly. Did you know it’s the ninth biggest country in the world? And is home to the Cosmonaut (Russian) Space Program? Or that it’s capital, Nursultan (or as used to be known, Astana) is one of the world’s more unique cities and capitals?

On This Day… Flying into Lisbon, 2019

On 2 Dec 202014 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn travel, travel stories16 Comments

It seems almost surreal to realise that on the 2nd of December last year, ONLY LAST YEAR, my wife and I were enjoying one of the best holidays we’ve had. After leaving the delights of Seville, our favourite stop last year, we took an early morning Ryan Air flight to destination Lisbon, where we would spend a week.

Seville, Colour & Movement – Through My Lens (2)

On 1 Dec 202014 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn travel, travel photography6 Comments

Today there are more shots from being out and about in Seville. There's also a look at the incredible Alcazar Castle - which I am planning a post on - the Casa Pilatos and the Monasterio Santa Luisa de las Cuevas. And I haven't forgotten the imposing, impressive yet garish Plaza de Espana.

Lava Fields and Ghost Towns – A couple if Gems in Japan’s Northern Honshu

On 30 Nov 202013 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Japan, travel7 Comments

Japan's Iwate Prefecture offers some really interesting and different kinds of places to visit - from hardened lava below Mount Iwate to an abandoned mining town. Today I also talk a little about the town of Kesenumma which was badly hit by the 2011 tsunami.

He's a huge fan of flying and airlines too and an accomplished photographer. His blog has a little for everyone from experiences, reviews and photos.

The Iraqi Travel Vlogger!

On 28 Nov 202014 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn travel, Vlog2 Comments

Hi all. Today I wanted to feature this amazing travel vlogger from Iraq. When one is on the tourist trail, when one can be I guess, you generally don't meet a lot of travellers from Iraq, but Baderkhan Amer Badran is travelling the world and making a name for himself whilst he does it.

Foto Friday – Library of Celsus, Ephesus, Turkey

On 27 Nov 202010 Oct 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn travel8 Comments

Foto Friday now takes you to destination Turkey, and the ancient city of Ephesus. This facade is for the 'Library of Celsus', and I think it's amazing that it still stands when the rest of the building does not! Thanks for popping by - May the Journey Never End!
