Hi all. Today's video takes me back to 2009 and the time I visited one of the Middle East's most accessible and certainly rewarding countries - Jordan. I visited Amman, Aquaba, Petra and Wadi Rum in around two weeks there, and I hope this video whets your appetite for a country that is extremely rewarding …
Welcome to a new week! Today's video is one I compiled from my time in Vietnam, 2011. Wonderful wonderful warm country! I visited Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi and Halong Bay, and here's a pretty long (18 minute) video with the highlights! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for …
Good Monday to you! Today the week starts with an old travel video - not from my most recent trip but from back in 2011 when I visited China for the second time. I explore Hong Kong, move on to the wonders of Yanshuo and the surrounding area, then to the big city that is …
After four days in Ulaan Baatar and Terelj, it was very quickly on again by rail travelling a further 1114km to the Siberian city of Irkutsk, not far from Lake Baikal (around 60km). This, it turns out, was the shortest journey of the four legs of my Trans-Mongolian as far as distance covered. However, it …

Okay. Well here I am ready to start reviewing the four segments of my journey from Beijing to Moscow, around 8000 kilometres away, via Mongolia. The trip to the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bataar was 1426 kilometres, crossing the border at Erlian (China) passing through Jinignan, Zhurihe and Dzamynude and other towns that perhaps I …

Happy Friday to everyone out there. I recently compiled a very short (3.5 minutes) video of Machu Picchu. I was sure I had taken more video footage whilst I was there, yet it seems I took far more of the train journey there (which will feature on a 'Train Journeys' post coming soon!) than at …
There are dozens upon dozens of epic rail journeys in India. I brought you the one from Mumbai to Goa a while ago now. That one, however, I did in 2AC class, just about the best class you can take on Indian Railways. For this overnight journey on the rails, however, I stuck to my …
Hello, get aboard that train again because today I’m reminiscing about a wonderful train experience in Myanmar. Today’s journey is from Thazi, in central Myanmar, to the stunning if touristy Inle Lake further east. Thazi was a sort of midpoint for me between Inle Lake and Bagan, being slightly closer to Bagan but with no …

Hello folks! Welcome to Monday's travel video. Last week I showed you one from my Dogon Trek. Today's video is from the rest of my time in Mali. So come take a look as I journey north to south from Mopti to Bamako. May the Journey Never End!
In keeping with the Saturday series I've been writing, here's a video - quite a longish one - I compiled of my trek to the Dogon Escarpment. At 28 minutes I think it's the longest travel video I've made. Interestingly I clearly made a mistake with one of the first captions. It says 'Ouigouyah to …
