Hi all. Today I had two snorkelling experiences. It's been something I've wanted to do more of since I first tried it. The water here on the Gold Coast is around 25 degrees at the moment which is perfect for snorkelling. I went out on a boat early this morning to Wave Break Island, and …
If Russia is a country you are considering visiting, then you’re best to start planning as well before your departure date as you can. For the Russian Visa is not as straight forward to organise as most others. Whereas visas seem to slowly being phased out, or replaced with Electronic Visas which you can get …
Hi all. Continuing on delivering an Australia-based post a week, today I wanted to talk a bit about getting around Australia by air. For the visitor to Australia, especially one with limited time on their hands, air travel is probably the most logical way to get around, simply because the distances are so great. A …
Howdy all, and it’s time for another face off between two opposing cities. Both in the Bengal area, but in different neighbouring countries, we have the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka facing off with the city that put Mother Theresa on the map, the city formerly known as Calcutta, Kolkata.

Recently I had the opportunity to ride Melbourne’s largest Ferris Wheel, the Melbourne Star. This giant wheel is in the same vein as the London Eye, it rises 120 metres above the ground and gives you a complete view of Melbourne far and wide. It’s an expensive ride at full price - $36AUD for an …
Hi all. In today’s blog I thought I’d address a topic that often has me thinking, and often has me rather annoyed. I spent two years living in Japan, and whilst it had its minuses (ie WINTER) one thing I couldn’t fault for the entire time I was there, was the customer service. It was …
