As budget airlines become more common and popular around the world, the area where they’ve probably ‘taken off’ the best is Asia. I seem to recall that the ball started rolling in the UK around 12-15 years ago with Ryan Air and Easy Jet, then several budget airlines in mainland Europe, but despite so many …
I had this down to do a spotlight a few weeks ago, and then I… dunno… changed my mind? Oh that’s right I went with St Petersburg. Well, today I am going full on for Tallinn because I have to tell you, it’s a really brilliant little city. Yes, little it is, but worthy …
So off with a bang! Thai Airways had me coasting through the clouds overnight. I remember the flight distinctively. Left at 1am, dinner a couple of hours later. Lights off for three hours and then lights on again and a movie – Sleepless in Seattle. Irony appreciated. Then breakfast and touchdown at just after 6am …

With such large distances between places, and little but desert between them, apart from flying trains are probably the best way to get around. It was 1999 when I went to Egypt, and the country was a lot happier than it can …
Hello everyone, hoping your hump day is treating you well. Today, a little proof that I don't just go to far off bizarre destinations most of the world don't seem to consider like Niger and Kazakhstan. There is little doubt that the world's most recognisable tower is the Eiffel Tower, and in a shock to …
I'm pretty excited today because I made my first two sales through Payhip this weekend. Payhip allows me to sell via pdf format to pretty much anyone so they can read it on anything pretty much any device. Also, I get around 90% of the takings which is nice, but after several months up there, …
Every week I get to Sunday and I have to put up my ‘Sunday Spotlight’, and I gets to thinking, then thinking a little more and then, yes, a little more. No, it’s not that there are no cities left, but that there are so many interesting ones out there that it’s so hard to …
