I haven't mentioned it before, but I've been working on a new design for this blog for some time now and today, after lots of fiddling around, it is finally all up and running. If you're reading this through the RSS feed in a reader or email, click over to the site to take a [...]
Located about 100 kilometres south west of Brisbane, Australia, the Cunningham Highway climbs up the steep escarpment of the Great Dividing Range through a place called Cunningham's Gap. This part of the range is home to some pristine rain forest and eucalypt forests that are all protected in Main Range National Park. The area has [...]
This week's travel photo is of a wood worker at the Curio Market in Arusha, Tanzania. The Curio Market was interesting to explore, but the constant nagging from the shop owners got a bit annoying after a while. This interesting fellow however didn't hassle me to buy a thing, and instead he told me about [...]
What I thought was going to be only a quick one night stopover in Vang Vieng, Laos, turned into several days as I realised that there was so much more to this popular backpacker town than drunken tubing. The town itself is pretty much as expected - lots of backpackers, bars, guesthouses and laid back [...]
2012 has really flown by, and as the end of the year approaches, the time has now come to focus on 2013. Next year is looking like it is going to be a huge travel year for me, and I have several plans in the works. I will talk more about my overall plans for [...]
I've written quite a lot on this blog about my love for visiting markets when I travel, and my favourite part of the world to do this would have to be Asia. When we were in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Veronika and I decided to do a Thai food cooking course, which combined my love for [...]
This week's travel photo is of the ruined viharn at Wat Thammikarat in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Wat Thammikarat is a lesser visited ruin in the historical park of Ayutthaya and it is still used as a working Buddhist temple today.
Venice, Italy, is one of those places that I could simply wander around for days with no intended destination and be completely happy. The Grand Canal is the backbone of this interesting and historical city, and each afternoon that we were there, my wife and I wandered down to an empty jetty to watch life [...]
I had the opportunity a couple of months ago to take my wife away for a night in Surfer's Paradise on the Gold Coast, Australia. The Gold Coast is a popular tourist spot, and for travellers and locals alike, it has some excellent night life to take advantage of. We were staying at the Q1 [...]
Cinque Terre on the Ligurian Coast of Italy has some of the most spectacular coastline that I have seen, and the five tiny villages that make up Cinque Terre cling to little coves in the steep cliffs of this beautiful coastline. Probably the best way to explore this region is by walking the trails between [...]
