Essential Travel Tips to Pakistan!
Pakistan is an exciting, vibrant, colourful country that you may not have considered visiting before.There’s no doubt that it’s not a natural choice as a country to visit, it is rugged and intrepid in many ways, but that also to me adds an air of excitement to travel. The tourist trail is not well laid out, and despite some fairly comfortable transport options on the ground, it is not nearly as straight forward as many countries which are far more popular with the tourists. So let’s see what you need to know for a trip… to Pakistan!
Why have we (I) lost the Romance of Flying?
And no – this is NOT a Covid-19 post! This post is one I’ve come to write after watching the one and only season they made of ‘Pan Am’, set in 1963 following the lives of four Pan Am air stewardesses and a captain and first officer – a group that actually flew together. I …

Howdy all. Today we have Tim Blight from urbanduniya.com doing a guest post. And he's taking to us IRAQ!

Howdy all, hope this post finds you well. One of the highlights of my time a few years back now in Cameroon was a visit to the village of ‘Bali’. For Australians, ‘Bali’ generally will only ever mean the Indonesian island where we flock in droves. (not me, not yet!) In fact, I would presume …

Travel Memories – Cambodia (Part One)

It was a significant country on my travelling journeys, after 14 months at home following my first backpacking adventure in 1999, I could scarcely believe I was off again November 2000 for another …
Lahori Musings
Howdy all. No – I’m not IN Lahore. But it’s a city that has been recently on my mind for a couple of reasons. And … I’ll start with Doctor Who, because I think that’s what started this whole thought cycle in the first place. The sixth episode of the latest series of Doctor Who …
Samarkand’s Incredible Registan
Howdy all. One of the most ‘fabled’ cities on the old Silk Road is without a doubt Uzbekistan’s Samarkand. It has a number of sites worth seeing, and a great place to experience Islamic Architecture. It’s a beautiful city, with wide roads and then miles of little backstreets in the old parts. When I visited …
Itineraries – My first solo trip to Europe via Eurail
Howdy all. I thought with today’s post I would get all sentimental-like and reminisce about my first time as a backpacker in Europe, as part of my first time around the world back in 1999. Yep – LAST CENTURY! I’m old. So anyways, on this occasion I concentrated on Western Europe. For the sake of …

Five Must-Sees in India
Hi all. I was going to give you a post about Romania this week, another 5-for style post, but then it occurred to me that a couple of days ago it was Indian Independence Day, and I thought I should probably get out one ‘India-themed’ post this week. That and suddenly (or slowly lol) I …
