Hi, I'm Jason Lee, Lonely Planet Author and full time traveler who currently resides in Bali, Indonesia. Thanks for visiting my website!
I've been traveling full time for the past 5 years, specializing in South East Asia and Eastern Europe. I've worked with Lonely Planet on their Guides to Romania & Bulgaria, as well as the Lonely Planet Guide to Indonesia. As a Travel Writer, I enjoy returning to locations I write about, so that my content is constantly up to date and fresh.
I created this life of full time travel out of my passion for exploring other places and cultures. My goal with this blog is to bring you all of the tips, hints and ideas that I can, so that you can enjoy all the wonderful places that I do!
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to post them at the bottom of my articles, and I will be sure to respond.
If you see me out on the road, make sure to say Hi! I love meeting people, and am always happy to chat.
The home of Manchester City Football club is a must visit place for most football fans that come to Manchester, England. Even if you are not a fan of the club, Etihad Stadium, and indeed Manchester City Football Club itself, is a place that you just have to see. The best way to do that, other than actually attending a game, is on the Etihad Stadium Tour. This article...
Holmfirth is a sleepy little town in West Yorkshire that, despite it’s size and seemingly innocuous presence, hosts a great many more visitors than one would expect. This is mostly due to a famous and very, very popular TV show that was set in the town. With so many visitors coming and going, it would make sense that there should be a large online presence of...
It’s not just every weekend that visitors descend on the sleepy little town of Holmfirth. On weekdays as well, tourists and sightseers can be seen constantly walking the streets. The majority of them are there to seek out filming locations of their favorite TV sitcom “Last of the Summer Wine” that was filmed in the area. Once their day is done...
It was quite a few years back that I first stumbled upon an article that mentioned the little town of Sirmione. I had never heard of it back then, and as much as I was intrigued by the article, I never thought I would ever get the chance to actually visit. I certainly would not have ever imagined being in a position to write a complete guide to Sirmione! This article...
Holmfirth, in West Yorkshire, is a place that has become more synonymous with wine than with beer. This is mainly due to the long running TV Sitcom, Last of the Summer Wine, which was filmed in the town and surrounds. For visitors and locals though, it is more likely one of the pubs in Holmfirth that they will seek out to find a nice refreshing pint of beer. This...
Well, it’s been a while since I last updated THE JOURNEY with what I was up to. Although, in my defense it doesn’t seem that long to me. When I look back though, I was in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and wrote about Turkey in Winter. Since then I have been constantly on the move, and been to 5 more countries! With so many highlights, I must say that the one that...
Desenzano Del Garda is not a place that I ever really meant to visit. As an overseas tourist, it was never on my radar, even as a frequent traveler and lover of the Italian Lakes. This is a place that the locals of Northern Italy love, yet tourists from abroad don’t generally know about. I hope to change that with my Complete Guide to Desenzano Del Garda. This...
Desenzano is located on the South Western shore of the famous Italian lake, Lake Garda. It is extremely popular with visitors from Verona and Milan, and easily accessible by both rail and car from both. During the Summer months it is crawling with visitors, many of whom visit the lake with little idea of what to actually do when they arrive. Hence the reason for this...
Everyone wants to visit Venice. It is on nearly every single bucket list, of anyone that is even remotely interested in traveling. The pity of it is that Venice doesn’t fit in the budget of everyone either. Therefore, budget travelers have to find other options to make the dream come true. Staying further out and visiting Venice on a day trip is the best option...
