There’s no doubt that one of Australia’s real highlights is its centre. With the outback town Alice Springs somewhat roughly in the middle of this amazing land, I can say it genuinely was the most interesting and worthwhile place I’ve visited in my own country. It has a beauty all of its own, with wide …
My first solo trip was 1999. The planning started as a trip to the USA. However, somehow that morphed when I chose my travel agent who introduced me to the concept of ‘round-the-world’ flights.

I’m starting to feel it – ever so slightly! In three months I’m heading off for my first overseas trip in a year and a half, which, for me, is a LONG time between drinks as they say. My trip will be a combination of destinations which see a fair fill of tourists – Portugal …

So today I’d like to talk a little bit about the climate in Australia for the visitor. Well, you know, it’s also the same for the resident but the visitor may not know exactly what it’s like, so anyways…. Lost my train of thought…. Australia, so I’ve heard, has a reputation for having brilliant warm …
Later this year I will be returning to Central Asia for the second time – the first now being 8 years ago (and it doesn’t feel that long ago to be sure). This time I will take in three countries, as I did last time. This time it will be Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Last …
Las Vegas. The big lights, the strip, the shows, the CASINOS! It’s quite the city – quite a unique place on this Earth. Sure, there are other cities with a reputation for the high rollers – in Europe Monte Carlo, in Asia Macau, even in the States there is Reno and the like, but Las …
One of the most watched series this year has been the HBO series ‘Chernobyl’, which documents, with some artistic licence it should be said, the events that surrounded the explosion of reactor 4 in wee hours of the morning of the 26th of April 1986. The Official Soviet death toll from the disaster was and …
