What do a large breed of dog and Hans Christian Andersen have in common? They’re both Great Danes. Last night I arrived in Denmark on a ferry that was basically a floating duty-free shop. Whilst in Germany I used the Deutschland Ticket, in Denmark ... Read more >

Kolkata, which was once Calcutta, is India's former capital. It is where the flag of India was first raised by Mahatma Gandhi in 1947. Whilst you don't come to India for its cities, Kolkata is vastly more attractive than Delhi as it's noticeably greener, ... Read more >

Indian train journeys are an adventure like no other. Trains are often late, usually by several hours, or cancelled altogether. When they're running normally they're more like travel by plane elsewhere. I opted for the train from Delhi to Kolkata as ... Read more >

Everything in India, and tenfold in Delhi, is intense. The heat, the pollution, the noise, the smell, the traffic, the crowds, the rubbish...is intense. Most certainly you don't come to India for peace and serenity. I seriously thought I had seen, heard, ... Read more >

It's super loud, the food tastes great, the sights are amazing, it smells (good or bad) all over, and you often have to watch what you touch. Welcome to India. An overload of all five senses is the best way to put it. Many travellers before me have told ... Read more >

There aren’t many countries where you can walk around the entire country in less than a day. In fact, Nauru may be the only one. Even in Vatican City it’s not possible to walk all the way around (although it’s likely possible to walk ... Read more >
