There’s no doubt that Egypt is a stunning and unforgettable place to travel. With such large distances between places, and little but desert between them, apart from flying trains are probably the best way to get around. It was 1999 when I went to Egypt, and the country was a lot happier than it can …
I'm pretty excited today because I made my first two sales through Payhip this weekend. Payhip allows me to sell via pdf format to pretty much anyone so they can read it on anything pretty much any device. Also, I get around 90% of the takings which is nice, but after several months up there, …
Following on from finding my 1999 photos, even though I don’t specifically have any from this trip, I was reminded about it. In Russia, stations are often named after their destinations, a somewhat novel approach perhaps but it makes a bit of sense too I guess. So when you head to Moscow from St Petersburg, …
Hi all. Just a quick mid-week post to let you all know that I have combined my Short Journeys: Kazakhstan & Short Journeys: Kyrgyzstan & Uzbekistan books together to make Short Journeys: Central Asia. It seemed a logical thing to do, to pair them together in case someone was interested in all three countries. This …
When I first set out on my first independent trip, last century in 1999, I had seven months of travel ahead of me and I wanted to remember what I had done and where I had been. Simplest way? Write a travel diary! So I bought a nice big black hard cover book with lines …

Hello all. Today, please forgive me, I am going to be quite self indulgent. I will do my best to keep away from 'Oh woe's me!' and the like, but I can't make any firm promises. So this self-publishing ebook lark. I started back in 2011 with no real idea what I was doing. I …
When I went to India, I was a very green traveller. It was my first solo trip, the first time I had travelled alone. When I went to West Africa in 2006, I couldn’t claim the same. I had been to India three times, I had visited Bangladesh twice and been through Pakistan and Iran …

My Short Journeys: Ethiopia page has had a bit of gardening done! I've added some pictures and links to Payhip and Lulu! 🙂 Please do take some time to check it out! Short Journeys: Ethiopia.
I’ve been wanting to write about my experiences publishing online for a long while now, but have been looking for the right moment to sit down and bash out a page or two on the ol’ keyboard. I thought it might be interesting for those who know me, or those looking to have a go …
