Time for another RETRO Review, where we shift back through time to many years back now and I write about a place I stayed at which has remained in the corners of my memory for one reason or another. Today, I’m writing about Gulnara Guesthouse where I stayed in June 2011 when I was in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
Today's interview with the amazing John Polley from Salsa World Traveler. John runs an exceptional blog and manages to post most days if not every day which I know is not easy. 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.
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.
