Some places you go, you just enter and BANG! You are in love. When people go to Japan, I think it’s no big deal to skip Tokyo, or not to worry too much about Osaka, but you simply have to go to the place that won my heart in less than one of its beats …
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 …
Hello everyone, hoping your hump day is treating you well. Today, a little proof that I don't just go to far off bizarre destinations most of the world don't seem to consider like Niger and Kazakhstan. There is little doubt that the world's most recognisable tower is the Eiffel Tower, and in a shock to …
You folks might remember my recent post about going to the AFL. That’s the nationwide league for Australian Rules Football here. Well, if you’d like a chance to see Australian Rules Football a bit more like the way it used be, there are state leagues with games on most weekends during the winter. It’s salt …
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, …
Every week I get to Sunday and I have to put up my ‘Sunday Spotlight’, and I gets to thinking, then thinking a little more and then, yes, a little more. No, it’s not that there are no cities left, but that there are so many interesting ones out there that it’s so hard to …
Welcome to another ‘Gateway Countries’ blog, this time I am heading to West Africa. Please note – WEST Africa. I haven’t been much to the rest of Africa, bar Ethiopia, and I’m sure as an introduction to the whole continent, there are easier countries to start with such as South Africa for example. West …
As selfies get more and more popular, I wanted to show you my favourite. Yes, this is the picture I use as my profile pic, but I simply love it. I was waiting for an hour or so at the bus station in Douala with a couple of kids behind me. Yes, I was being …
Have you ever lost something you thought would never come back? Well, my photo albums were in a water-logged garage for three years, and thought they were done for. But over the weekend they were returned in almost perfect condition, bringing much relief to me. Amongst them, most importantly, were the albums from my first …
Dear people, readers, welcome again to another Sunday Spotlight. Last week I took you to a hot and dusty place, Lahore, so this week it’s time to contrast that with a place a bit more chilly, a bit more romantic, and a bit more, well, grand. If you haven’t been to Russia, well, you should! …
