Later this year I will be returning to Central Asia for the second time – the first now being 8 years ago (and it doesn’t feel that long ago to be sure). This time I will take in three countries, as I did last time. This time it will be Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Last …
No no, it's not 'closed for reconstruction' or anything like that. I've taken the chance to update some of my 'country' pages, and more to the point to create a few new ones. These 'country' pages list all the posts I've made on a particular country. So I don't usually do a Saturday post, but …
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 …

Sunday Spotlight has been a great little segment that I've enjoyed writing very much! Here are some of my favourites I've written about in the last couple of years! 5. Agadez Agadez is a desert city in the African country of Niger. It's a world away from everything, and perhaps the most remote place I …
Today’s post has come about because on my recent trip I went to two high towers to see the views in Sydney and Auckland. It’s always a fun thing to do when you arrive in a city, to find a high tower often purpose built for the views (along with communication reasons too), so here …
