Ahh it’s so close to Christmas and the end of the year it must be time to do a few ‘2018 in review’ style posts, right? Today I want to reflect on some of the awesome accommodation I’ve been privileged to stay in this year. I’ve had three getaways or trips this year, a very …
It’s another Sunday, and this time it’s a bit different. Here are three interesting hostels you might stay at if you were to visit the cities they live in. It’s always nice to stay somewhere which is a bit ‘different’, escape the normal hostel for somewhere more unique. I’ve stayed in two of these three …
And I am now up to the last in my accommodation reviews of places I stayed in India and Sri Lanka back in March/April. Galle is a great little town with some of the best eating options you’ll find in Sri Lanka, and we were lucky enough to stay in the historical fort area. The …

Trying to find a decent place on the internet to stay in another country is a real hit and miss affair really. Some places look nice online, and then are a bit disappointment when you rock up (my stay in Ella is an example of that). On the other hand, you get a bit nervous …
The hillside town of Nuwara Eliya is something a little special in Sri Lanka. Lakes and cool weather, a gateway to the area, a wonderful train ride there and further afield.

I had extremely good luck whilst in India this year, most of the places I stayed at were really good, and the KP Heritage Haveli in Jodhpur was no exception. In fact, this one was really special as it was a special building, in a busy part of a great city, with exceptional views of …

The last place I visited in France before heading off to Japan was the small city/town of Rouen in Normandy. It's quite a nice little place, with a few things to see none of which take an awful amount of time. It had its old town which is genuinely very attractive and lovely to walk …

My wife was very adamant before we left Australia this year, she wanted to stay in a Chateau in France. Not just any chateau, her friend who lived in Normandy had a friend also in Normandy who ran a chateau as a B&B. And so it was that we would have a night in Chateau …
'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 …
The Baikaler Hostel in Irkutsk, Russia, has a pretty good reputation and I was very glad that I was able to get a room there – especially as there was only one private room in the whole hostel! Apparently it is owned and run by an interesting and friendly character named Jack. Unfortunately for me …
