Howdy all and Happy Tuesday! (Yeah, probably not a thing ‘Happy Tuesday’). Look, okay so usually I am not one to put overly dramatic titles on my blog posts. At least I don’t think I am. What am I trying to do here? Make clickbait? I dunno. But seriously we have to talk about Australia’s …

On 28 Aug 202226 Aug 2022 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel6 Comments

Hey everyone, how has your week started off? Well, today I have decided to do another ‘list’ post. It was brought to my attention by my lovely commenters that in my post a couple of weeks back ‘Six Countries to Visit Before You Die’ that not ONE of those countries was in Europe, which hadn’t …
