Let me tell you, a city known for the world’s first atomic bomb being dropped on it, is 60 years later a wonderful place to visit in Japan. I really can’t recommend Hiroshima enough, it’s simply brilliant. If you travel to Japan and don’t get there, you’ve really missed out on a city that has …
Hey folks. Mega busy at the moment and very little time to blog. Sorry if you’ve been missing my ramblings! Let me tell you about a little place I went a couple of months back called ‘Walhalla’. For those unfamiliar with the history of my home state of Victoria, a lot of country areas were …
Hello folks! I was looking through some of my belongings the other day and I found my old passport. The one I used in 2011, until disaster struck! After spending most of the year travelling, I gave my trousers up to be washed by my host family in Georgia where I was teaching English for …
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, …
‘Write a travel blog’ they said! ‘Share your experiences with loads of people’ they said. Actually, I started travel blogging back in 2005, right at the very end of the year before I left in early 2006 on my trip. Actually, nobody told me to, I just thought it would be a way to keep …
Hi all. Just a quick mid-week post to let you all know that I have combined my Short Journeys: Kazakhstan & Short Journeys: Kyrgyzstan & Uzbekistan books together to make Short Journeys: Central Asia. It seemed a logical thing to do, to pair them together in case someone was interested in all three countries. This …
When I first set out on my first independent trip, last century in 1999, I had seven months of travel ahead of me and I wanted to remember what I had done and where I had been. Simplest way? Write a travel diary! So I bought a nice big black hard cover book with lines …
Hi everyone I wasn't going to blog at all today, I am trying to restrict myself to five posts a week although at the moment it's six, when I finally start working (it's coming!) then I think five will be about the maximum I can manage. But I have a free afternoon and I thought …
I’m continuing for a few more weeks my regular Saturday spot – ‘The Japanese Survival Guide’, and today I wanted to look a bit at the Japanese language, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, if you are headed to Japan it will help to know a couple of useful phrases, but also, to someone who’s …
Central Asia. It's bloody brilliant. Seriously. In 2011 I visited Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, all brilliant places. My only regret is that I didn't work in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Oh and I should have spent longer in all three countries. For travelling, they were simply brilliant. As a backpacker, kind of perfect. The transport is …
