Travelling – All About the Journey

On 29 Sep 201928 Sep 2019 By Andy RoamsIn blogging, Train travel, travel5 Comments

Buckle up everyone reading this – it’s going to be one of those ‘thoughtful’ posts where I delve into my subconscious and answer questions that I never knew I would ask myself for reasons that may never be clear. I’ve read a couple of very interesting and thoughtful posts on other blogs lately. A shout …

Travel Gear – New Akaso Action Camera

On 26 Sep 201925 Sep 2019 By Andy RoamsIn photography, travel, travel tipsLeave a comment

Howdy all. Well, as my trip draws closer I am starting to prepare for the packing by buying things I will need. I think that an action camera is a must these days, if only for the simple reason you can keep it in your pocket and pull it out whenever you need it. Although …

Losing Your Cool When Travelling

On 19 Sep 201918 Sep 2019 By Andy RoamsIn backpacking, travel, travel planning, travel tips4 Comments

Howdy all. I have written before about times I had lost my s&%t when overseas, although it was a while ago now, and I thought today I’d reflect on keeping your cool because I think it’s important because when we travel we represent the country we come from and also, you don’t want to make …

That Time I Went to… New Orleans

On 15 Sep 201914 Sep 2019 By Andy RoamsIn America, travel, travel stories, travel tips2 Comments

I don’t seem to write much about my travels in the US of A. It’s been an awful long time since I was there – 2004. It’s a place that certainly warrants a return at some point, but I’m just so interested in so many different places to visit in the world, and most of …

Plans Change – Biting the Bullet on Hong Kong

On 8 Sep 20197 Sep 2019 By Andy RoamsIn travel, travel planning2 Comments

So, a little earlier than I thought I would, I bit the bullet and decided to change my plans to visit Hong Kong in a short stopover at the start of my upcoming trip. I did a little consulting, and although I the feedback I got back was that it ‘should’ be okay, and that …

Little Places – Montenegro

On 5 Sep 20194 Sep 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel, travel tips3 Comments

One of Europe’s smallest, and newest countries is Montenegro. And it’s also a great little place to explore, albeit I have not taken the chance to explore it greatly bar a couple of spots near or on the coast. You’ll find it well east with a decent amount of Mediterranean coastline, and after the breakup …

Hi all. A quick little post today. Just doing a couple of little tweaks to the website and so on. Firstly, as you can see I have a new image for my blog, and also my Youtube channel. I got this through someone on Fiverr dot com, and I'm really happy with the result. More …

That Time I Went to Iceland Part Two

On 8 Aug 20197 Aug 2019 By Andy RoamsIn backpacking, travel2 Comments

Last week I began the story of my misadventures (or lack thereof) in Iceland, twenty years ago now. And about a month. When I wrote last week I wrote about arriving, the shock of being alone in such a … treeless place (clearly this is in my mind as I look at photos and there …

Visiting Uluru and Alice Springs

On 6 Aug 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Australia, backpacking, travel4 Comments

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 …
