It seems a strange and surreal thing to be titling this latest edition of The Journey, but there is a good reason for it. Lonely Planet books, it seems, are set to become a big part of my life. At least in the immediate future. This is good news not […]
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 […]
It sounds like a crazy question, but there it is anyway. Is Winter in Turkey actually a better time to visit? Well, I have just spent an entire month in Turkey during winter, and guess what? It was pretty damned good! Welcome to my 17th edition of THE JOURNEY! I […]
Last week the Indonesian Parliament signed off on a range of new laws, some of which have caused quite a stir. The one that has caused the most consternation, and dare I say, confusion especially within media, is the “sex ban” law. This new Bali law, as many are calling […]
Well, it’s been a while since my last update in The Journey #14, but they will be coming thick and fast from now on. Life is moving quickly now – this website is growing, and I have trips coming up that will be bringing many new and exciting destinations for […]
Well, hasn’t 2022 been throwing us some travel related curve balls recently? It seems that to get anywhere this year, you just have to roll the dice and hope for the best. With massive airport delays, mountains of lost luggage, and soaring flight prices, it’s no wonder people are getting […]
Well, it’s been a few weeks since I last caught you all up in THE JOURNEY #12. Back then we were still in Bangkok, and looking to head on to Chiang Mai. So much has happened since then, and here I am, just landed back in Jakarta, Indonesia, and we […]
Since the last time we caught up in The Journey #11, I have been on the move quite a bit. It seems so long ago that I was in Australia now, as I have been to 3 countries since then. All in a very short period of time! It has […]
It had been over 2 years since I had been home. That was never the plan when I left Australia to travel the world, but Covid-19 had other plans. 25 months later, the time had come, and I booked the trip that I had been longing for. It was time […]
Well, what can I say? It’s so nice to be traveling again! Not that I am right now, but the tickets are in my pocket and all I need now is my Covid test. Then I am on my way! We have spent the past few weeks, since my last […]
It’s been a while since we left Jogja, and even though a lot has happened, nothing much as happened! Sound confusing? Well, maybe a BIT has happened. Most of the time though, it has just felt like we are marking time back in Bali, waiting for the country to reopen, […]
Welcome to THE JOURNEY #8, where we are continuing our trip around Jogja, with an amazing colorful village in Java, more temples, and of course sunset spots! Well it’s been a while since I last saw you all in THE JOURNEY #7. We had just been to Gunung Kidul and […]
