Okay so yeah, if you’ve followed this blog for long enough you will know that I am a major fan of one kind of transport – and that’s train. It’s pretty awesome and leaves buses for dead! But why do I love it so much? Train travel is varied There are so many different types …

West Africa is not the first region people think of travelling to, especially from the west. The capital cities are often where the most money may be – in any country, not just in Africa – and they often can shine a little light into the past as well. Some cities show evidence of an …
Yes, another Sunday, another ‘Spotlight’, and today we’re heading to Georgia and its second (or maybe third) city of Batumi. It sits on the eastern edge of the Black Sea, and has a population of 155,000 or so (so not particularly big). However, it is pretty much Georgia’s second city, and it is by far …
Argentina really is a fabulous place to explore. I barely touched the surface, with only three places visited plus a day trip from Buenos Aires. It’s a land of contrasts and great natural beauty, of seas and mountains, and cities too. Whilst Buenos Aires is a genuine ‘big city’, with amazing buildings and scale not …

Hi all. Another 'Top' post looking back at 2018. Here are some of my favourite photos I took last year. What do you think? Thanks for stopping by today - May the Journey Never End!
Head to Jaipur, Rajasthan and take a tour. It’s sure to include a site known as the ‘Royal Gaitor’. It’s not far from the city walls (but it is outside), but it doesn’t seem to rate in the pantheon of sites of Jaipur – from the city palace to the Amber Fort which is a …

Hi folks. Looks like this week we're heading to Bosnia-Hercegovina. On the blog that is! It's been 14 years since I made my way from the south - crossing from Dubrovnik - to the northwest out to Zagreb, stopping at Mostar and the capital, Sarajevo. And let me just say - the capital is an …
