On weekdays I provide essential and informative travel tips, with a different subject each day!
This latest post in my series of World Borders is WITHOUT doubt the best border I have crossed in my travel repertoire.

This my friends is the “dreaded drake”, it’s Read more about World Borders: Crossing The Drake Passage from Argentina🇦🇷to Antarctica🇦🇶[…]
I’ve had a lot of jobs down the years and even within the jobs I’ve had there were other things I was doing, that I often forget about. I totally forgot that I once did PR for Tiger Beer in the UK! Not for long though – I worked on one campaign in May or Read more about Working Wednesdays: Doing PR for Tiger Beer![…]
I’m pretty sure I’m an exception to a lot of backpackers and travellers out there with regards to my toiletry bag. I NEVER travel with Shower Gel. (OK, unless I get given it FREE in a hotel or hostel 😉 ). For this reason and from what you are about to read, my toiletry bag Read more about Tuesday’s Travel Essentials: A Toiletry Bag – How to Travel Light[…]

Throw in a walk to some gorgeous waterfalls called Jiulong, near Luoping in the Yunnan Province and you’re sorted. Here’s a bit about Chinese sweet Read more about Friday’s Featured Food: Chinese Sweet Coloured Rice at Jiulong Waterfalls, Yunnan Province[…]
The last 2 days haven’t being the glammed up and happy travel life you want. I’ve been confined to bed and the toilet. In equal measures. All travel bloggers and writers seem to concentrate on the good things – arriving in new cities, trying new food, seeing world heritage sites etc. But from now on, Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: Water and Lucozade[…]
A bit later than billed comes today’s Working Wednesdays – been dying in bed with a fever so haven’t had the energy to type anything in the last 24 hours. What does harvesting echinacea mean??
