Tat Kuang Si Waterfall A most amazing day at Tat Kuang Si waterfalls outside Luang Prabang, Laos! it was breath-taking, unreal - something I've previously only seen pictures of or on TV. Huge amounts of water pouring from a mountain top and steep drop into lots of deep pools you could swim in all …

Historical Travel
History unveils itself as you travel. If you get to know tourist sites, local people (even as a tourist) then you can find out and gain real insights into the places you travel to - or the people in the places! In each country I visited I found this. Sometimes natural history, sometimes political. Nowhere …
4000 Island Adventures!
Don Det is one of three main island people live on and visit in this area. It was like nothing I’d experienced before and I loved it - so did Bex! In fact, everyone did! It was local and village like, cut off from the mainland and other islands other than hours of travel to …
Hola! Como estas?
Hola! Como estas? My llama Julie! De donde eres? Since travelling - and perhaps a little topsy turvy here! - I am now learning Spanish. I could have done with simple phrases I am now learning - above I say "hello, how are you? I'm Julie. Where are you from?" That simple phrasing would have …
New Year Dream?
Well, getting back on to my travel blog, I am currently pulling and tidying my travel journal into a coherent book format - who knows, I might publish this year! It could be my 2017 dream - or for you, maybe travel is that dream this coming year!? If so, please read the journal entries, …
Santiago Sit-in
3/4/16 What to do in Santiago? Most of yesterday, my second full day in this Chilean city, I simply sat in the Plaza des Armas (there's one of these too in Lima, Peru!), in the warm sunshine that arrives later in the day it seems, around 2-3 pm. Why just sit? Well, I was tired, …
Slow Boat to Laos on the Mekong

Travelling Siem Reap ..
This, for me, is what travelling is about - meeting people, making connections, making new friends and contacts and learning about other cultures. And here I certainly have!! Some people make an impression for different reasons, some you bond with, have a deeper connection with, others just in passing but all have an impact on …
Curitiba Culture
The cultural centre of Brasil, capital or Paranay, this is after all an interesting and pleasant city in South America. Exploring on the first day I found numerous small placas or park areas to sit, reflect a d watch the Brasilians go a out their daily life. Apparently, a well planned city thanks to a …
Amazonian Queens and Kings!
16/4/16 I can’t believe I’m here, after so many years wondering! So guess where I am, today 16th April for five nights and days? I am in the Amazon jungle!!!! Through creeks to the lodge area of several stilted shacks, with tin rooves, two larger grass- roofed buildings housing dining room and hammocks. My view from …
