Today we have some travel inspiration from Jacob Laukaitis, who bought a motorbike and rode 8000kms across the Balkan States, filming as he went. This video of his journey will make you want to pack up and hit the road. A journey across the Balkans I was born and raised in Eastern Europe, but have [...]
Today's travel photo is a panorama shot of Streaky Bay in South Australia. On our journey around the Eyre Peninsula, we stopped here for lunch on our way to Ceduna. It was a hot, dry place and the grass was brown and scorched, but that water was calm and inviting. It was a very peaceful [...]
Today's travel photo is of a walking path in the countryside near Silchester, England. This is the walking path that leads to the ancient Roman ruins at Silchester, and it is a pleasant walk past lush farm fields and small stands of forest.

Today's travel photo is of the Pont des Arts crossing the Seine to the Institut de France in Paris, France. There really is nothing quite like going for a stroll along the Seine at any part of the day in Paris. There is something almost poetic about it. The Pont des Arts is famous for [...]
Today's photo is of the sky and clouds reflecting on the water of Lake Manchester in Southeast Queensland, Australia. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago while hiking the 17km trail around the lake. It was a very peaceful walk along the lake's edge and then up in the surrounding forested hills. I [...]
Hakuba valley in Japan is one of the world’s most popular skiing destinations. And once you get there, you’ll immediately know what the hype is all about. In the peak of the snow season from December through to February, you are almost guaranteed heavy snowfall (they average about 11 metres per season). There are a [...]
I hate expectations when it comes to travel. It is something that I preach often - when you travel to a new place, go there with an open mind. Try not to judge a place before you go there. But even I have trouble with this sometimes. Sometimes, you just can't help having some sort [...]
