Charlie has spent the last few days with me visiting Madrid while I visit a new city and attempt to practice Spanish in advance of my trip to Chile next month. We have only been here two nights, and are soon due to go back to the airport for our […]

Next stop Chile!
For years people have been asking me why I haven’t visited South America yet, to which I have always replied “I’ll get there one day. There are so many places in the world I want to see” or something similar. It seems that the time has finally come as I […]
My Uzbekistan & Kyrgyzstan blog is online!
I’m pleased to announce that my blog from this year’s trip to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is finally online. As I’ve mentioned a few times before I wrote my blog in note format when I travel, in order to maximise the time in which I’m able to get under the skin […]

I had such a good nights sleep last night. I was warned that Andy was a snorer but the yurt was so luxurious and comfortable, even though I had to sleep on a traditional bed on the floor, that I slept right the way through for the first time all […]
