Sunday Spotlight – Semey (Kazakhstan)
Today's Spotlight is shone on the northern city in Kazakhstan of Semey. I ventured there a few years ago now (really I can't believe it's been SIX years! Time is going too fast I tells ya!) as the first city I went to bar Almaty. I took the overnight train, which was quite a cool …
First Taste – Pyin Oo Lwin (Myanmar)
It’s been a while since I did a ‘First Taste’ – this is a series of blogs I’ve done on the place I first arrived when I went to a country, also for the first time. So today I’m going back a couple of years to the town which introduced me to Myanmar, the hill-village …
Travel Video – Jaunt to Jordan
Hi all. Today's video takes me back to 2009 and the time I visited one of the Middle East's most accessible and certainly rewarding countries - Jordan. I visited Amman, Aquaba, Petra and Wadi Rum in around two weeks there, and I hope this video whets your appetite for a country that is extremely rewarding …
Sunday Spotlight – Hoi An, Vietnam
Yes! Sunday Spotlight is back! And today a trip for me down memory lane (has it really been that long?) to 2011 and my visit to Vietnam. Sort of halfway up the coast is the little town of Hoi An, with a charming old town, welcoming tourists happily and with welcoming arms. It’s a great …
Travel Videos – Vibrant Vietnam

The Air BnB Experience – Homestays
Hi all. It's taken an age but finally I'm getting around to writing about Air Bnb. In the last two trips I've used Air BnB five times, twice for homestays and three times to rent apartments. They have been quite different experiences. I'm not sure what took me so long to finally use Air BnB. …
Accommodation Review – Baikaler Hostel
The Baikaler Hostel in Irkutsk, Russia, has a pretty good reputation and I was very glad that I was able to get a room there – especially as there was only one private room in the whole hostel! Apparently it is owned and run by an interesting and friendly character named Jack. Unfortunately for me …
PanRussia Panorama – Irkutsk, Baikal and Ekanterinburg
Howdy folks and welcome again to another feast of wide photos! I’m splitting my Russian Panoramas into two sections, and today it’s, well, everything bar Moscow. The border town (with Mongolia) of Naushki was not a place to remember, but I feel this photo shows the viewer why. Irkutsk was a surprisingly pretty town which …
