Let’s be honest, Lome is probably NOT at the top of your list of places you want to see in your lifetime. Togo is a small, and very thin country in West Africa, between Ghana and Benin, and although it’s pleasant enough, there just isn’t a lot of reasons to head there. BUT, if you …
The main city in southern Vietnam, and the former capital, Ho Chi Minh City is the most popular starting or ending point for backpackers and tourists heading into Vietnam. One thing’s for sure, the place has a lot going for it, I had a brilliant time a couple of years ago when I visited again. …
Howdy folks. It's time for a little reflection on the world today and the way things are done. Have a look at the two girls in the photo above I saw one my day trip to Hakone a month ago now. What exactly is going on there? It looks like the girl on the left …
Today, it's a special GUEST POST from Jessica from Turquoise Compass. I feel very privileged to have been approached by Jessica to contribute a guest post. It's on a country and a part of the world I have never been to (naturally I am extremely jealous) - Guyana, South America. So, I will turn it …

If there was one city in China I was keen to visit before I went there, it was Shanghai. Why? Perhaps it seemed the most romantic of China’s cities? The most forward-thinking even back before China opened itself up to tourism, full of shiny skyscrapers and technology. Ripped off technology, sure, but technology none-the-less. I …
In the spirit of reviewing things, and the interest it seems to create when I DO review something (My KLIA2 review very quickly became my most viewed post) I thought I’d review my recent flights of a week and a half ago on Air Asia. For those of you who have never flown Air Asia, …
Before I moved to Japan to live for two years, I spent three months at the end of 2011 in the Republic of Georgia teaching English with Teach Learn Georgia (TLG) in a remote village in the west of the country. It was a brilliant three months, and in June or July I will be …
For those familiar with Japan, you’ll know about Golden Week. It’s the time the whole country is on holiday. As much as that’s possible as most places remain open and the hospitality is run off its feet. It began on Sunday here, and well it finished today. So it’s not much of a week really, …
Howdy all. It felt time for a slightly quirky, reflective post and so here it is! One thing you can’t help but notice when you see males backpacking in a foreign city, be it India, Europe or wherever, is that a very healthy proportion of them have beards! People, who at home whilst working and …
