That Time I Went to Iceland Part Two
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
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 …
That Time I went to Iceland – Arriving, Midnight Sun & Depression
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.

How do I Choose the Places I Visit?
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 …

An introduction to Australia’s Climate
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 …
Why I Love Central Asia as a Destination!
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 …
