Sometimes half the fun of seeing places is getting there. Uch Shariff is a small collection of beautiful Sufi Shrines in Pakistan. They are on the ‘tentative’ list of UNESCO heritage sites. Put simply we are talking about a small group of shrines kinda in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of a little …
Today, trying to freak all you regular travellers out as usual, I think this is one is perhaps the most amazing of all. Bar one. That I've seen. No-one died, the pilot is a genuine hero after the engines took in some birds not long after take off. You might remember it. So anyways, this …

In all my travels, I’m not sure I’ve been as impressed by an historical place as much as I was with the temples at Angkor, Cambodia. It wasn’t so easy to get to back then. A slowish train from Bangkok to the border between Thailand and Cambodia, and then I took an 8 hour ride …
Oooh here we are with a very retro 'Foto/Selfie' Friday. Here I am in Iceland back in 1999 on my very first solo trip around the world. Above I'm in Reykjavik at the bay. Below you'll find me outside the hostel I stayed at near the capital. My goodness I look like a 15 years. …

‘Little Places’ – you know, not a whole city or country, just a little place somewhere in the world where there’s a little something special worth an hour or two of your time. Thus begins a new series of posts. And I am starting in Myanmar. A place near Pyin Oo Lwin, in the highlands …
So - confession. You know this old backpacker seems to be slowly moving away from backpacking! I mean, the HYATT! Okay, truth be told, I did not pay for this stay, it was a generous gift to my wife and I back at Christmas last year from my parents – two nights at the Hyatt, …
A road trip in any country can be a great adventure, and Australia is no exception. For starters, we have a heck of a lot of road for the number of people here, and the distances are really quite substantial. For example, in my recent trip to Canberra I covered over 1400km, around Canberra (only …
