Re-Blog Saturday – Trip to Tbilisi

Hi folks. Let's go back to November the 2nd 2011 as I relive some more experiences in Georgia. I took a few days to head to the capital Tbilisi, meet up with some friends and see the sights. And this is what it is was like... Dear avid followers and those who just happened to …

Train Journeys – Puffing Billy

Less than an hour from Melbourne (in good traffic) and reachable by metro train from the city, Puffing Billy is the train highlight of Melbourne. If you love trains, you love steam, or even if you fancy a day out in one of the most beautiful parts of the state of Victoria, then Puffing Billy …

First Taste – Prague (Czech Republic)

With the honourable exception to Russia, Prague was not only my first introduction to the Czech Republic, but my first taste of Eastern Europe in general. It wasn’t on my list of places to go in Europe on my trip of 1999, however it was always a possibility. I made some good friends as I …

Foto Friday – That’s Me! In Myanmar!

I always like to put my best foot forward, and here I am being perfectly normal on the platform at Yangon Central Station awaiting the train of yesterday's blog. (Read it here) And for fun I thought I'd share this restaurant sign from Nyangshwe in Myanmar too. This slick, professional design could be used for …

Train Journeys – Yangon Circular Railway

  The final ‘Train Journeys’ from Myanmar. Sorry, meant to have this up months ago but the long queue of things I needed to edit just didn’t allow me time to do the video until this week! So, it was more than a year ago now that I took this trip – seems rather strange …

Travel Blogger – Svetlana from Maverickbird

Today's Travel Blogger series sees my interview Svetlana from Maverickbird. Hers was one of the first travel blogs I ever started following religiously. It's full of beautiful photos and exotic places, but I think the BEST thing about it is the content. The writing is so in-depth and carefully thought out. It will make you …

Re-Blog Saturday – Arriving in Georgia

I haven't written THAT much about my time in Georgia since I moved over to Word Press. I thought for a few Saturdays I would go back to my time in Georgia and remember the first experiences there. So, here it is, my first post about Georgia. It was at the time entitled 'The Next …

Foto Friday – That’s me – in Mali!

Hi folks! Hope this photo finds you well. For a little while I've decided to specifically put up photos of myself on Friday. I was once told that the only problem with my travel photos was that they didn't include me! I always rationalised that by saying that I know what I look like, and …
