From Around the Web – Pilotless planes and the Village Celebrating 8 years of Electricity!
Hi there all. I wasn't going to write this post but I was just reading a couple of blogs and came across two really interesting and starkly different posts from the world of travel and destinations. Firstly, from Salsa World Travel, this post below talking about planes flown without pilots. He makes the point that …
Five Reasons to Travel Again
Howdy all and welcome to Sunday’s thoughtful post on travel and why we should look to travel again. I’m feeling somewhat jealous seeing that in some parts of the world people are off travelling here and there. For here in Australia – to be more exact Victoria – to be even more precise, Melbourne, can’t …
I Went to Iran – So You Don’t Have To!
Howdy all – Thursday means it’s time for me to take you to a place that in all likeliness you can’t get to right now, and recount my experiences for you. And today we look at the incredible Iran, a Middle Eastern country of some controversy in the last fifty years or so. Formerly known …
Exploring the City of Dushanbe, Tajikistan

In 2017 5.4 million people visited Slovakia, a record number up to that point. In contrast, it’s neighbour and ex-partner in the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia, received over …
Why Not Consider … Belgrade?
Yes today it’s a look into the Serbian and former Yugoslavian capital of Belgrade. It’s a long time now since the war over Kosovo and the split of Yugoslavia into different countries, and indeed it’s some fifteen years since I went to Belgrade myself. However, I must admit it’s not a city I see a …
