Shazza's Escapades

Light hearted look at my travel escapades

North Korea...Eerily Surreal

NORTH KOREA | Tuesday, 15 Apr 2008 | Views [178]

What can I say about North Korea ? A lot now but at the time we pretty much had to watch what we said especially if it was negative, even if we were joking. We couldn’t be seen to make fun about anything to do with their beloved country. As ... Read more >


Libyan Easter

LIBYA | Tuesday, 1 Apr 2008 | Views [186]

I went on a quick Easter weekend getaway to Libya. Firstly to see beautiful Leptis Magna and secondly to miss the snow storm that you guys had. Normally such a short trip doesn’t warrant one of my stories but I had a bit of bother on this trip.... Read more >


Kosovo Calling...for Independence

SERBIA & MONTENEGRO | Wednesday, 27 Feb 2008 | Views [599]

I visited Skopje in Macedonia . My main reason for visiting this place was to go to Pristina in Kosovo. When I planned this trip I didn’t realize that Kosovo was about to be independent so it actually worked out quite well. I was there in the ... Read more >

TOGO | Monday, 31 Dec 2007 | Views [521]

We travelled overland from Ghana, Togo and Benin with the odd bush camping here and there. There were only 7 including me in the group plus the owner of the tour company, an official local guide and 2 trainee guides plus 2 drivers and a cook. This trip ... Read more >

Manitoba Oct 2007

CANADA | Thursday, 15 Nov 2007 | Views [227]

I’ve been to Canada before but not to Manitoba. I thought it might be good to see the polar bears again, this time up close and personal. The only thing I was dreading was the weather as I had heard that the weather there at this time often peaked ... Read more >

Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago & Barbados Aug 2007

GUYANA | Saturday, 25 Aug 2007 | Views [729]

Before I even went on this, my final trip this summer, I was absolutely shattered. This should teach me not to try and cram so much into so little time. By the time I reached my destination I was ready to do nothing but chill out. Luckily Trinidad and ... Read more >

Albania 2007

ALBANIA | Saturday, 11 Aug 2007 | Views [341]

This is my second trip this summer and I was quite looking forward to it. I know that it wouldn’t be as impressive as my last trip but bearing in mind it’s Albania and it’s one of the top 10 countries in the Badlands book about countries under the axis ... Read more >

North Pole July 2007

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Wednesday, 25 Jul 2007 | Views [410]

I found out about the North Pole 4 years ago, I didn’t realise people could travel and explore this region so I started to research this area. I know why not many people explored this area…it’s too bloody expensive. So I’ve been saving up ever since.... Read more >

Bosnia & Serbia May 2007

BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA | Friday, 25 May 2007 | Views [406]

My last trip was to Bosnia and Serbia. This was the trip I was kind of dreading because it was just me exploring on my own. The first half I was spending in Bosnia and second half in Serbia. I was so happy when someone from the hotel picked me up from ... Read more >

African Easter 2007

SENEGAL | Wednesday, 4 Apr 2007 | Views [607]

I visited Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania. It was an ok trip, not one of my best. I still had a great time. I did not like Gambia, unfortunately the Brits have found out about this place and are in the process of turning it into another Ibiza.... Read more >
