On 4 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn blogging, Europe, travel4 Comments

Yes, I’m back at it again, this time from Portugal. The last proper stop of this journey (bar a few hours in Singapore on the way home) has me visiting Lisbon and Porto. We touched down yesterday morning, thanks to a time difference between Spain and Portugal slightly before I left Seville. The approach over …

Knowing Melbourne – City Circle tram

On 3 Dec 201923 Oct 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Melbourne, travel tips1 Comment

A very quick one today. Transport in Melbourne – Greater Melbourne, can be a headache to say the least. And if you’re heading to Melbourne any time soon, be aware that there are more works going on regarding the trams and trains (and also roads) than I have ever seen at one time before. Although …

Howdy all from Barcelona. It’s been another non-stop few days in this city and I’ve one more to go! When last you joined me, I was about to head off to a Flamenco performance at the Palau de la Musica de Catalunya two nights ago. This venue is pretty amazing actually, and was one of …

Hey, this is pretty cool y’all. Sorry, I will never use that expression again, I feel bad now… So anyways! What the heck am I talking about? Okay, so ages ago now my good friend, compatriot and fellow travel blogger Tim Blight (of urbanduniya.com) asked me if I’d like to contribute to the magazine of …

Bouncing Into Barcelona!

On 25 Nov 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel2 Comments

Hi all, you now find me in Spain! Yes, I’ve travelled somewhat southwards from Belarus on what was a bit of a bumpy flight from Minsk to Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia. It was another early morning, but at least this time I flew in direct. I had to go to the tourist information desk …
