Yes, finally I can announce that a new adventure is on the cards come February next year work commitments permitting – I should be flying off for three and a half weeks in South East Asia. To actually be thinking about travel again in the future tense rather than the past tense is awesome. The …
Okay – I could have called this one a ‘Sunday Spotlight’, but I liked the ring of ‘Perfect Palolem’. I am writing about a little beach and village in India that I visited in 2001, so it’s been quite a while, but I suspect that the place, though different I’m sure, is still pretty special. …
Hello folks! I was looking through some of my belongings the other day and I found my old passport. The one I used in 2011, until disaster struck! After spending most of the year travelling, I gave my trousers up to be washed by my host family in Georgia where I was teaching English for …
Across the world, or at least a few cities that I can think of, Fringe Festivals are where it’s at for a bit of culture, drama, expression and comedy. Today, the fifth of October, marks the very end of this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival – Starting midway to the second half of September each year …
And so I boarded the train in Rome to head to France. I heard a story about two guys who had taken their seats on a train in Rome, left their bags there and popped out of the carriage for a second only to return and find their bags gone. So, you know, I was …

For anyone familiar with the ‘Carry On’ films, there’s one of the best (it helps if you have an appalling taste in humour) called ‘Carry on Up the Khyber’. Which I am using to segue from my title to my actual post here. 2004, as part of my crossing from Dhaka to Europe by land, …
So, it was from Cairo that I flew into Munich, Germany, and the Eurail adventure was set to begin. Leading up to the journey, I was really looking forward to catching trains through Europe (as anyone familiar with my blog might guess!) and so I had a pass that 10 days travel across Germany, France, …
It seems suddenly I am writing a lot of posts on West Africa again! Oh well, this time I turn the spotlight to a little town on the coast of Benin. Benin is one of the most interesting countries in the region. There’s a fair bit to keep one occupied for a few days to …
So, with all my tales about malaria, you may wonder how I feel about the country of Burkina Faso. To be honest, it holds a bit of a special spot in my heart. Sure, it’s hot and dry and I got ripped off bad there, and I had malaria, but it really has a soul, …
