Hi Ho Time to Get ready!
So, my brief getaway is not far away at all. It’s Thursday here in sunny Australia, and I’m on leave from Saturday (when I’m going to my sister’s wedding) and then on Sunday I am off to Sydney, followed by New Zealand on Tuesday next week. So you know, packing. I’ve never left it this …
Faces of Japan
I'm delighted to continue on with my 'Faces of' series and take you to Japan. These photos all come from my first visit in April 2011. Still in some ways feels like yesterday. Hope you enjoy. Final night before flying off I went to a karaoke bar and had an utter blast in Roppongi. …
Travel and Hospitals – Delhi and Quetta
Last week I told the not quite romantic story of my brief journey to a hospital in Bangladesh. Today I move a little westward as my 2004 journey from Dhaka to Europe took me to hospitals in both India and Pakistan. Delhi belly. If you don’t get in whilst in India you’ve been very lucky, …
Train Journeys – Thazi to Inle Lake (Myanmar)

Yessir, let’s head to Wales where you’ll find a very fine open air museum indeed, ‘St Fagan’s National History Museum’, around half an hour or a little more out of Cardiff. Have you ever had a day when travelling when you set out with a plan to see this, that and something else and by …
Faces of Iran
Welcome to another 'Faces of' post - this time I'm looking at the faces I saw in Iran. Iran was simply amazing, and perhaps the most amazing thing about Iran was the people. They were always friendly, smiling and happy to be photographed! A couple of young girls at Persepolis. I stayed with a …
Seven on Sunday – Places to visit in the USA
Sunday goes Stateside this week, looking at seven places I have been in the States and heartily recommend. So let’s dig in! Las Vegas Look, it’s not my idea of a great time, but it is for many and this city of lights, music and money has to be seen to be believed. If you’re …

Consider Bangladesh
Hello folks! Hope you’ve all been well. Today I want to talk to you about a little country called ‘Bangladesh’. Of the countries of the sub-continent, this may be the least considered when travelling of all. India speaks for itself, the Maldives are beautiful, Sri Lanka gets its share, Pakistan less so for security reasons …
Faces of India
Howdy all welcome to the next installment in my 'Faces of' series. This time I shift a country to the east and look at people I've met in India. These photographs take in three trips to India going as far back as 1999. Despite all the hassles and scams, the real people of India are …
