WESTERN SAHARA | Tuesday, 27 Jan 2026 | Views [30]
This part of my trip I visit Western Sahara. I crossed the El Guerguerat border between Mauritania and Western Sahara. One of those places you don’t really think about until you’re actually there. This stretch of desert sits in a long running ... Read more >

So I made it. Arrived in Nouakchott at 2am.
No transfer waiting at arrivals...fucking typical! Sat down, no airport wifi, started mentally preparing to stay there until daylight. Noticed nobody else there except me and an airport guy. He asked if ... Read more >

Iran already feels like a dream because I'm now in Brussels and suddenly it’s full on Christmas. There's twinkly lights, decorations, festive vibes and me, blinking like I’ve time travelled. Checked into my hostel which is actually lovely, ... Read more >

From Largs to Tehran, the longest way possible. In London, where I went wedding food tasting then Southall for wedding clothes alterations. You can guess which one I preferred. Then a quick pit stop in Belgium, overnight chaos in the middle of nowhere ... Read more >
CAPE VERDE | Thursday, 27 Nov 2025 | Views [9]
Lisbon was unplanned. It was meant to be another airport sleepover. But after Budapest’s strip search and near case of hypothermia, I cracked. I treated myself to a bed. Wild, I know. I found the cheapest place online but it meant two ... Read more >
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES | Tuesday, 18 Nov 2025 | Views [8]
Arrived in Abu Dhabi on zero sleep, looking like an extra from The Walking Dead. Dragged myself onto a bus, and rolled into my £14-a-night accommodation at 7:55am. Owner blinked. Check-in was noon. I asked if I could dump my bags and collapse on ... Read more >
BAHRAIN | Tuesday, 18 Nov 2025 | Views [7]
My last night in Doha was a near miss. The driving there is genuinely unhinged. I survived. My bag almost didn’t.
At the airport they informed me my backpack needed wrapping because of the rat holes courtesy of Niue. I refused to pay for their ... Read more >
QATAR | Friday, 14 Nov 2025 | Views [6]
Hello Doha. I landed without a hitch, grabbed yet another metro card, and made my way to my £25-a-night bargain accommodation in Al Mansoura, affectionately known as Little India. Still lots of men around. But clean. No mysterious smells. No pavement ... Read more >
SAUDI ARABIA | Tuesday, 4 Nov 2025 | Views [5]
New country, new mischief. Except this time everything went suspiciously smoothly.
I used up my last Kuwaiti dinars at Burger King like the classy international traveller I am, froze solid in the airport, and then breezed through Riyadh immigration ... Read more >
KUWAIT | Friday, 31 Oct 2025 | Views [6]
Kuwait was a bit of a hassle to get to via Kuala Lumpur and Kochi especially without an Indian passport but that's a whole other story. Finally two hours in immigration, another hour on buses and I'm in Kuwait city. By the time I reached my hotel, I ... Read more >

KIRIBATI | Monday, 27 Jan 2025 | Views [419]

TUVALU | Tuesday, 21 Jan 2025 | Views [172]
I got to Tuvalu via Fiji from Nausori Airport. I was collected by L’s Lodge staff which was nice and I got an upgrade to an ensuite room too. The first impression was how rural and poor the island looked. In Malaysian terms we would call it Kampung ... Read more >
