So a couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about my experiences with Air BnB in homestay environments. Today I'm writing about the other way you can experience this phenomenon as a guest - renting a whole apartment. I did this last year in Buenos Aires for the first time. My wife and I …
Howdy folks. How's your week going? Here's a select bunch of photos from Paris I thought might brighten you day! Thanks for stopping by - May the Journey Never End!
Yes – the Trans-Mongolian wasn’t the only train journey from my most recent trip. In fact I was on trains in every single country I went to! One journey was the Eurostar from London to Paris which I took on May the 28th. I have taken the Eurostar before, to Brussels, however it was the …

'Twas 1030am on a mid-May, cool Moscow day and I had just arrived by train from Ekanterinburg. All that was left was to make my way to my hotel and lay my head down for a while. Getting into the Metro was not so easy. I could find the exits but not the entrances. Eventually …
Good Monday to you! Today the week starts with an old travel video - not from my most recent trip but from back in 2011 when I visited China for the second time. I explore Hong Kong, move on to the wonders of Yanshuo and the surrounding area, then to the big city that is …

Okay, so context …
