Where is that Big Mac? Sofia? Florence?

On 8 Jun 20233 Jun 2023 By Andy RoamsIn travel, Vlog2 Comments

Howdy all. Today it's the latest vlog and this one is a bit different. When editing the vlogs as I travelled a couple of my now patented 'Big Mac Challenges' - just didn't fit into videos that were already over 20 minutes long. So I decided I would put them into a vlog today for …

Destination of the Month – Lyon

On 28 Aug 202226 Aug 2022 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel6 Comments

Howdy all! Well, last Tuesday I caused some raging controversy when I published my post on countries I recommend visiting in Europe and there was some backlash because I didn’t include France nor Germany in that list. Well, that’s not because I don’t like France or Germany as countries to visit I need to say …

Hey everyone, how has your week started off? Well, today I have decided to do another ‘list’ post. It was brought to my attention by my lovely commenters that in my post a couple of weeks back ‘Six Countries to Visit Before You Die’ that not ONE of those countries was in Europe, which hadn’t …

Destination of the Month – Istanbul

On 24 Jul 202223 Jul 2022 By Andy RoamsIn Middle East, travel13 Comments

Howdy all, and today I though would turn attention to a country which has been growing in popularity as a destination in the last year or so, and that is Türkiye, and to be more precise, the amazing city of Istanbul, formerly Constantinople. Although the capital moved a long time ago now to Ankara, Istanbul …

Well folks, it is time for another challenge! We have $100USD and a little under two full days to explore a city. We arrive early morning day one, stay one night, and then leave late the next night. And today I thought I would take us to a new continent, and to the capital of …
