Howdy all! Yes, the final vlog has dropped, called 'The Flight Path Home', so join me as I make my way from Porto to Melbourne on Emirates and Qantas, and then let me present a few 'best ofs' from the trip. What was my favourite city? What was the weirdest city? The Most Amazing Natural …

Ho Chi Minh City – Through My Lens!
Folks, let's travel along to Vietnam today, and have a look at the former Saigon, as it's known today - Ho Chi Minh City. Always been curious if the locals don't like the name as the south held out the longest back in the war of the 1960s and 70s, but I didn't hear anyone …
Singapore Airlines – Second-Best Airline in the World? A Review
Howdy all. Flicking the clock back to the 27th of October 2019 now to the first flight I took in the trip, from Melbourne to Singapore with Singapore Airlines.

Big City Experiences – Tehran
Howdy all. Today’s ‘big city’ I am writing about is Tehran, the capital of Iran. When I write about my time in Iran, I don’t really write much about Tehran. The amazing cities of Yazd, Shiraz and Esfahan usually are the cities I write about, and they all have a lot of history and sites …
A Day at the Royal Melbourne Show
Howdy all and I hope this post finds you well! Last week I took the chance to attend the Royal Melbourne Show. The Royal Melbourne Show is a big event that happens every September-October in Melbourne at the Royal Showgrounds, Flemington. If you’re in Melbourne at that time of the year, it’s not a bad …
Why Not Consider… Laos?
South-East Asia is a non-stop smorgasbord of interesting, fun, exciting places for the traveller. Thailand is the prime hub I guess in many ways, with beaches, trekking, the nights and lights of Bangkok and more, Malaysia offers all that but in smaller doses with a fair dose of colonial history and architecture if that’s your …
