To fly back to Melbourne I took Emirates. It’s been ages since I’ve flown Emirates, but they still run a pretty good airline. I only realised as I booked in that I would be on an A380, my first experience of this behemoth of an aeroplane, so that alone made it all worthwhile. I think …
Last Sunday I started with this post, talking about seven countries that are great for those keen on keeping a tight budget. I soon realised it was pretty long and then decided to split it over two posts. So last week was 7 to 4, now for my top three J I hope it’s useful …

In the second part of my interview with Chris Goldby we theorise on what would be the perfect 'round the world itinerary, and look at some of the best places he's been to in his travels. We talk quite a bit about Vietnam in this podcast too! I hope you enjoy this …

After four nights in Rotorua my wife and I took a bus to Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest city, and we had two nights there. Looking for a budget option was not easy or particularly fruitful.

In this podcast I chat with Chris Goldby about taking an around the world trip, and some of the great places he's been such as the USA, Vietnam and Thailand, plus various countries in Europe. So take a listen to the first part of the interview! Hope you enjoy the listen - May the Journey …
Before heading to New Zealand, my wife was very keen to see one of the Maori Cultural Shows. Rotorua I was told was the best place for them, so we had it on our ‘to do’ list for Rotorua. Funky Green Voyager Hostel recommended the Mitai Maori Village, although they had discounts to another two …
Yes – I was finally back at a Youth Hostel after such a long absence. To be honest, even $30 which I was occasionally dolling out for guesthouse in Myanmar is much more than I would usually pay for a room. So it’s kind of ironic that I paid $NZ77 a night for a double …
