It’s been simply ages since I wrote about my favourite African country, Ethiopia. Today in ‘first tastes’ I will refer back to 2009 when I flew into the capital to begin an amazing three weeks in Ethiopia. For those flying into Ethiopia, odds are you will be flying into the capital, you’ll be landing at …
Hi folks. Well, last Sunday was a retrospective, so this week I will look forward to 2016 and set some goals for the year. It’s really been a long while since I’ve seriously travelled. I had two trips in 2015 – one was about 3.5 weeks, which to me is a very short trip, and …

Yes, another episode of the World Journeys Podcast! In this one, Andrew chats with Susy Carasas-Castillo who moved from Peru to Melbourne, Australia a few years ago. This podcast was recorded back in 2014 shortly after Susy's Australian citizenship ceremony. Susy talks about the differences between Peru and Australia and becoming an Australian citizen. So …
The Waiotapu Thermal Springs is one of the most amazing places we saw in our short stay in New Zealand. Done on a short trip/tour from Rotorua, we took half a day to explore and walk around the springs. As for most of the attractions around but not actually in Rotorua, transport is a bit …

It's been an amazing year here at Andy's World Journeys. From Australia to Myanmar, Thailand, home again and then to New Zealand, I've seen quite a bit! But now it's Christmas time, a good time to be home. The weather here is hot. They forecast 33 degrees Celcius for Melbourne, and we've had some hot …
Taking you back to Sydney now, I had a pretty interesting day there back in late November. I actually had two days there, but the first day was solely about the Doctor Who Festival, so my other day was spent quickly doing as much of Sydney as I could in such a small amount of …
Although I’m in the process of reviewing all the experiences of my very recent trip to New Zealand and Sydney, earlier in the year I had an amazing trip to Thailand and Myanmar.
