Read MoreOn my latest west Africa trip, we visited Togo and Benin while also veering across the border (yet unvisiting) Ghana.

Read More“I’m too busy raising cane. I’m back on the street again. I’m… back on the top again” – Van Morrison. We join fads. We cling to the popular. We need to belong and we need to be like everybody else, we want to be the same as everyone. It’s human nature. Nobody likes to be…
Read MoreKrasnodar is a Russian city of a million people, or more. That doesn’t even guarantee heard-of ness from common tourists and whackpackers.

Having witnessed some unusual capital cities on my…
Read MoreNew Year’s Eve has seen me bed hop, city hop and country hop a lot in recent years. 2018 ended in a similar fashion, as I began 2019 in Beirut, capital city of Lebanon. I came across a cosy little hostel online, with its own flashy website and a cool location in the Lebanese capital…
