Mostar – A City Reborn
Walking from our drop off point next to the cathedral in the New town, I could have been anywhere. There is no hint, on the surface at least, of the death and destruction that rained down on the historic town of Mostar after the break up of Yugoslavia. Like a...

Climbing Kilimanjaro – Day 2 Machame Camp to Shira II Camp
Opening my eyes to the bright glow of the early morning outside the tent, I excitedly jump out of my sleeping bag and get dressed without noticing that it has only just gone 5am. I am almost an hour early for breakfast and I've spent the night nervously waking...

Cretaceous Park – Sucre’s Unique Window Back In Time

48 Hours In Rome
First off, let me be clear. There is so much to see and do in Rome, you will need much longer than 48 hours but sometimes life doesn't play ball with the best laid of plans. So, if you're short on time, how do you choose what to see and what to leave? Some...

Perito Moreno Glacier – Mini Trekking Or Big Ice Tour. Which is best?
The top draw for visitors to the charming, if somewhat isolated town, of El Calafate on the shore of Lake Argentina is a visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier in the nearby Los Glaciers National Park, a 1 hour bus ride or drive away. Looking up what there is to do while...
Iguazú Falls Brazil – A Panoramic Odyssey
Compared to the Argentinian side you would be forgiven for thinking that a quick hop over the border to the Iguazú Falls Brazil wouldn't be needed; but you would be wrong! True, there isn't nearly as much to see on this side of the river than it's Spanish...
Iguazu Falls Argentina- A Wonder Of Nature
Iguaçu Falls; even the name sounds exotic (it means 'big water' in the local Guarani language). While a great many more people nowadays have actually heard of them, the relative expense of actually getting there puts off a lot of people. I have been fortunate enough...

Quepos – Try A Different Kind Of Beach Holiday

My Story
Travel takes many forms for many people. I firmly believe that travel of any kind is enriching. For the last decade I have chosen trips that many people see as exotic or out of the way but the places I have been blessed to see and the people I have met have helped shape me as a person.
I’m not adverse to a “standard” beach holiday or city break but anywhere I travel I try to find something unique about the destination to explore.
This blog is the culmination of many thousands of airmiles and countless trips to amazing places and cultures. I hope you enjoy finding inspiration for your travels.
