On 9 Jul 202330 Jun 2023 By Andy RoamsIn adventure, India, travel6 Comments

Howdy all. The next stop on the adventure of Dhaka to Dakar was the city of Varanasi, somewhat in Northern India (not that far from the border with Nepal) and another place I had been to before. In fact, this 3 month adventure was MOSTYLY taking me to places I had been at least once …

Break down on the Road to Saly!

On 4 Jul 202329 Jun 2023 By Andy RoamsIn travel, Vlog, West AfricaLeave a comment

G'day there! My final stop before I hit Dakar, Senegal, was the beach town of Saly, 80km south of Dakar. And so it was that I took two share taxis (changing from one to the other in a city called Thies) for this journey. And yes - for the first time in the entire 3-month …

The Return to Kolkata – Walking Tour!

On 2 Jul 202329 Jun 2023 By Andy RoamsIn India, travel4 Comments

My first stop in India this year was Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta). My aim for the journey was to cross as many countries via land borders as possible, sadly it was not possible to cross from Dhaka to Kolkata by land because they were (maybe still are, I don’t know) hanging onto an old …

Walking Tour of Saint Louis, Senegal

Yo! (sorry wanted to say something other than 'Howdy'). Today's video takes us to the town/city of Saint Louis, Senegal (as opposed to the more well known one). I took a walking tour, which at one point turns into a horse and carriage tour as the heat was getting to me and I was promised …

Howdy all! Today I present the latest vlog for you, as I like to do. On YouTube I have been fiddling around with when videos drop, and I've decided to stick to a firm schedule for the foreseeable future. As regular readers of the blog may know, I present the vlog the day after they …

Noukchott Explorer – The Capital of Mauritania

On 20 Jun 202313 Jun 2023 By Andy RoamsIn adventure, Vlog6 Comments

Do you know the country Mauritania? I have found often when I mention I was going there, or now - that I have been there, people draw a blank. It was the second last country on the epic journey from Dhaka to Dakar, just north of Senegal. Mostly desert, the country was actually a surprise …
