Thoughts on the Melbourne’s Crown Casino

On 21 Jun 202220 Jun 2022 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Melbourne, travel2 Comments

Howdy all. Last week I presented my latest vlog on YouTube, which took me to Melbourne’s Crown Casino. I thought it would be a good chance to reflect on the place a little and share a bit more about it. I’d hoped to do a vlog at the casino since last year. I tried to …

A New Year on the Blog and a Covid Staycation!

On 20 Jan 202212 Jan 2022 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Corona Virus, travel16 Comments

Well folks, 2022 hasn’t exactly started perfectly for me. I have just come out of isolation as I had Covid. Well, I presumably had Covid as I never received the results of  my PCR test, but I had all the symptoms listed that come with Omicron and I was a close contact to several people …

10 Years Since the Last BIG ONE

On 23 Jun 202122 Feb 2021 By AndysWorldJourneysIn adventure, travel14 Comments

It's been over ten years now since I left Melbourne on my last BIG trip, and although there have been several medium-term trips, I wanted to reflect on the last time I dedicated the best part of a year to travel!

Accessibility in Cities Worldwide

Getting around cities may be easy for you and I, but how about if you needed to get around in a wheelchair?

How I Will Blog from Overseas…

On 27 Oct 201925 Oct 2019 By AndysWorldJourneysIn blogging, travelLeave a comment

Okay, so I am writing this post a week early, but all things being equal, this should be appearing the day I fly out on my latest seven-week adventure. So, I wanted to do a quick post about what to expect from the ol’ blog-aroony over the next seven weeks. In the past, I have …

Lahori Musings

On 22 Nov 201821 Nov 2018 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Asia, Review, travel2 Comments

Howdy all. No – I’m not IN Lahore. But it’s a city that has been recently on my mind for a couple of reasons. And … I’ll start with Doctor Who, because I think that’s what started this whole thought cycle in the first place. The sixth episode of the latest series of Doctor Who …

Pondering Paris

On 3 Jun 2017 By AndysWorldJourneysIn arts, backpacking, blogging, Europe, people, travel, Travel Blogging, travel stories1 Comment

Well, I'm writing this on the train from Paris to Noramandy. Another whirlwind three and a half days have come to an end here in Paris. I was happy to go to Paris because I don't have any decent photos of the place. I've passed through a couple of times in 2006 and 2011 but …

Review – Latam Airlines

On 7 Jan 2017 By AndysWorldJourneysIn adventure, Airlines, Review, South America13 Comments

The biggest South American airline, I think I am right in saying, is LAN/LATAM, and I took numerous flights with them on my South American adventure. They were overwhelming my most used airlines so I think it’s only fair that my reviews start with them. My flights with LATAM – Sydney to Santiago with a …

Some thoughts on the Olympics.

On 29 Aug 2016 By AndysWorldJourneysIn bloggingLeave a comment

Hi folks! Well recently the Olympics just finished as you’re possibly aware. I rambled up some thoughts on them a couple of weeks back when they were about half done but held back on actually publishing the post. The point of this post is/was not to ‘bash’ the Olympics, although I confess to not being …
