Travel. Backpacking. Both have changed an incredible amount in the last two decades. My first solo trip was 18 years ago now. Early February 1999 and I headed out on my first round the world adventure stopping in Thailand as my first stop. Khao San Road was far more basic compared to today. No fast …
Happy Friday to everyone out there. I recently compiled a very short (3.5 minutes) video of Machu Picchu. I was sure I had taken more video footage whilst I was there, yet it seems I took far more of the train journey there (which will feature on a 'Train Journeys' post coming soon!) than at …
Yes, time for me to indulge my love of panoramas again, and today I take you to the salt flats, Salar De Uyuni, in southern Bolivia. I was on a three-day tour to the salt flats and the surrounding areas right up to the Chilean border, there were many lakes, sulphur reserves, rock formations and …
Howdy All Back with another video I compiled in the last week or so showing sea lions on Isla San Cristobel, Galapagos. This is the first real run my action camera got - although the land stuff is mostly shot on my Nikon 3300. If you're interested in what I used of course. I shot …

When people are asking me for my number one experience from South America, I have little hesitation in saying ‘Galapagos’.

Potosi, Bolivia, a pleasant enough town in the centre, but the chief reason for tourists to go is to take a tour in the silver mines in the hills that surround this town. And that’s why I stopped there. Why did I want to visit a silver mine? Well, to be honest, it was something …
Howdy all, and Happy New Year! Yes, it’s been a whirlwind and incredibly busy time (just like all the time it seems to be honest) since I set foot back in Australia in early December. I managed one post since then and that was already written pretty much. I’ve been working as much as possible …
Howdy all... here I am, home safe and sound with a cold but I'll be over it sooner or later. I wrote the final post of my trip in a couple of stages, firstly in Rio before I left, and completed it on the flight from Rio homewards, hoping to publish on one of my …
Good day, morning, afternoon or evening wherever you may be from Rio de Janeiro. Yes, I have less than 24 hours left and I am in the city that needs no introduction and has at least 3 famous songs written about it. But before I got here, I went to the falls that split …
