Hi there all. I wasn't going to write this post but I was just reading a couple of blogs and came across two really interesting and starkly different posts from the world of travel and destinations. Firstly, from Salsa World Travel, this post below talking about planes flown without pilots. He makes the point that …
I tried a number of restaurants in Dushanbe, Tajikistan and realised the food there is actually quite tasty!
Howdy all! Hope you're doing well this fine #TravelTuesday (yes apparently it really is a thing!) Today, through the power of my camera I am taking you back to the amazing destination of Sri Lanka. A couple of weeks back I took you to the town of Galle on Sri Lanka's South Coast (Galle - …

Mandalay is the centre of the region of… well the ‘Mandalay Region’, which I guess is hardly surprising. It’s an amazing destination in many aspects, but the region surrounding it has many sights and things to do as well, so basing yourself in Mandalay is a great idea to really get to grips with all …
Howdy all. Well, Sunday is now going to be interview day for the next few weeks at least! I'm starting off on a plan to interview mainly bloggers (but I'm hoping to sneak in some vloggers as well, such as today's special guest!) as I go down the line. A few years ago now I …

Howdy all, today I want to write about what I consider my personal ‘Ultimate’ Itinerary, a trip which I undertook over sixteen years ago now through countless countries and destinations, an overland route which saw me travel to three continents – Asia, Europe and Africa. And that was my journey from Dhaka in Bangladesh, to …
Or – Is a Five star hotel THAT much better than a four-star hotel? When preparing for my trip last year (2019) I booked almost all my hotel stays in advance (and one AirBnb stay). Bar a few nights in Tajikistan, I was booked for the rest of the nights which meant I knew where …
