Ultimate South-East Asian 65-day Itinerary
Howdy all. You may recall a couple of weeks back I did a post where I talked about a crazy idea to travel Singapore to Lhasa and Lanzhou by the world’s highest rail line as an overland itinerary as I desperately tried to fill a gaping void in my life without the ability to travel. …
My Favourite Cities in … South East Asia
South East Asia is a big place, it’s densely populated and there are so many different people and different languages. It’s generally pretty hot most of the time, with only a few places in the north ever really cooling down substantially (such as Hanoi, which had maximums of around 15 degrees when I was there!) …

Dear readers, and indeed viewers, the time has come to present my first VLOG from my last trip, and indeed this one takes in the first three days of my 2019 adventure starting on October 27th. It's been ... a process, shall we say? Not one that's been easy, and I still have a lot …

A Visit to Singapore’s Gardens By the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is a relatively new attraction in Singapore, a somewhat ‘modern’ take you might say in gardening and design, they were opened in 2012 and in 2018 they received some 50 million visitors. For something I hadn’t even heard of a couple of years ago, that’s quite an achievement, 50 million = …

From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, I’m Underway!

I will hit Central Asia tomorrow with a morning flight to Almaty, but right now I'm in the amazing Sama Sama International at KLIA. Possibly my favourite hotel ever! Singapore was quick as expected, …

Plans Change – Biting the Bullet on Hong Kong
So, a little earlier than I thought I would, I bit the bullet and decided to change my plans to visit Hong Kong in a short stopover at the start of my upcoming trip. I did a little consulting, and although I the feedback I got back was that it ‘should’ be okay, and that …

Five Big Cities You Must Return To…
Happy Sunday! Today the post is about cities I’ve been to which I think absolutely DEMAND a second visit (if not a third or fourth). They are BIG cities, cities that blow you away, amaze and dare I say… delight? Let’s see! Singapore Definitely the smallest of these five cities, Singapore is in my mind …
3 Spots on Sunday – Stopover Cities between Australia and Europe
Flying from Australia to Europe is a long, LONG journey, and bar an experimental flight from Perth to Europe (London I think) you need to change planes at some point in the Middle East or Asia. There are many options – off the top of my head Doha, Abu Dhabi, Delhi, Colombo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, …
