Following on from my solo backpacking world exploration a few years ago, now I want to share my experiences and recommendations for European cities you can visit. On my own explorations the last year or so and more going forward. This year was a Danube River cruise with my sister from Australia who never got …
It’s cold in Asia!
What is Asia's obsession with air con??? Photo not in Asia but need this jacket in some dorm rooms and eating places! Yes, Westerners might struggle with the heat and humidity but at night, sleeping or on trains not moving much, it gets freezing!!! I have experienced this daily now for months!! I, like many …
People want to travel but don’t
I have clients and people I have spoken to who would 'love to travel too' but don't do it. They are often looking too deeply in the minute details, assume it will be costly, time of work and other obstacles. There will always be obstacles in life, for things we want, to do, to be. …

Off to “4000 islands”! Where?!
I've arrived at Don Det in 4000 islands and now sitting watching the sun set on the sunset side of the headland where most tourist bungalows lie, or to the sunrise side for morning sun.

Thakheke & Pakxe bus
I was dropped in Thakheke - as planned - and it was quite late, and I was very hungry so before going to hunt down a hostel to spend the night or two at, I was across the road from a restaurant with tables on the street, so sat down there. I got the menu …

After setting out to explore wats and city today, I spent an hour talking to 7 young monks/novices today at Wat Ong Teu in Vientiane, the capital of Laos! Learning English and studying it there at the table, they invited me to sit and chat when I asked from a distance if any of them …
