So. Air Astana. How is it? I mean, it’s probably not an airline you’ve considered flying unless you were heading to Central Asia, but actually it could be a useful airline going forward coming from Asia to Europe. It’s reasonably priced and connects primarily through a quiet airport in Almaty or further north in Nur …

Hi all again! It’s a bit late, I usually do more ‘end of year’ type posts but didn’t this time around. However, I thought I would do a post on the top posts I had that I posted last year. Frustratingly my top posts of 2019 were not actually written or published in 2019 – …
Howdy all again, it’s time for another Australia-themed post, and today I’m writing about my experience on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, to visit the ‘Twelve Apostles’. I was lucky enough to be joined by Gino Pop – a guy I met when travelling last year who was suddenly in Melbourne. I asked him if there …
Hi all – another ‘Need to know’ this time on a part of the world you may not have considered visiting.

Today - a somewhat SCARY statue in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro of the late Michael Jackson. May the Journey Never End!

Today I'm going back to 2011 when I was in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek. I found it a really likable city - spread out, full of parks, memorials and statues. Went to see a local opera at their opera house and was joined by a company of soldiers, which was quite interesting. Anyways, hope …
One spot in Melbourne that I think often gets overlooked by visitors is its amazing Shrine of Remembrance, which is located on St Kilda roads in the precinct of the Botanical Gardens. It sees its fair share of visitors without being massively busy, I visited it a few weeks back and frankly was surprised by …

Howdy all, today I’m doing one of those ol’ lists where I suggest a few places you might not have considered visiting but I thoroughly recommend. Perhaps you have some countries you consider ‘hidden gems’, here’s a list of five from me! Uzbekistan Here’s one that previously I might not have put on the list, …
