Have you ever lost something you thought would never come back? Well, my photo albums were in a water-logged garage for three years, and thought they were done for.

I mean – come on! There’s no place like it in the world. It’s simply a place you HAVE to go. I’ve been twice. It’s so bloody BIG! Seriously. It just goes up and up and it’s really long (Manhattan Island for you!) What can I say? I first visited NYC in 1999 and although …
Yes, the Friday series is back with another ‘gateway country’. This week we head on down to South East Asia, and just to shock and awe and confound you, I’m not calling ‘Thailand’ on the region, rather I am going with Vietnam as the best gateway to the region. In a region which boasts Thailand, …

People often talk about ‘gateway cities’, a good place to start if you’re going to a new country, one with plenty of transport in and out etc, but …
Hi all just a brief post today, I am quite under the weather at the moment 😦 I wanted to share a link with you to another blog post from a blog called 'My Wanderlist' I recently discovered. Brad writes some great stuff, but this blog post of a couple of days ago was worrying. …
During the week someone lay down the challenge to me to write about Lahore, so here I am responding to the challenge. Now, Pakistan is probably not right at the top of anyone’s travel itinerary right now. It’s not really the safest of countries and hasn’t been for a few years. I went ten years …
Howdy all! Today I want to take you to a seriously beautiful place on this planet, in a country in Southern Europe you might not have visited but if not, should definitely be on your list!
