RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Thursday, 6 Aug 2015 | Views [536]

I arrived at St Petersburg airport for the second time this summer. I was quite tired after my flight from Kazakhstan but was ready for my Transiberian experience which was starting this evening. I took a local bus to the centre hoping that the main ... Read more >

Kazakhstan 2015

KAZAKHSTAN | Wednesday, 22 Jul 2015 | Views [554]

It was a possibility that I might have missed this trip because at the boarding gate the Russian attendant was not allowing me to board. As I waited for whatever reason it was, it still wasn’t clear to me as to why I was being denied boarding. ... Read more >

Dagestan 2015

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Thursday, 9 Apr 2015 | Views [511]

I was sorry to leave Chechnya and wished I allocated more time for this part of the trip. My guide told me that to get to Dagestan we could drive on the motorway as it would be quicker but he did mention there may be a lot of traffic. The other option ... Read more >

Chechnya 2015

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Tuesday, 7 Apr 2015 | Views [511]

This was my favourite Russian Caucus. It took a while to get here as I started in Sochi and headed east towards Cherkessia and Kabardino Balkaria until we reached North and South Ossetia. I was collected by my guide/couch surfer in Vladikavkaz in North ... Read more >


North Ossetia and 12kms of South Ossetia 2015

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Saturday, 4 Apr 2015 | Views [472]

I was is North Ossetia for a short time but not as short as my visit to South Ossetia. I managed to travel 12 kms through the south before being stopped by the militia. My permit was granted and then a week before the trip it was revoked with no explanations.... Read more >

Abkhazia 2015

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Tuesday, 31 Mar 2015 | Views [410]

Abkhazia is a disputed territory and a partially recognised state by the Russians and is also funded by them. This is obviously to show Georgia to stay away. The Georgians tried to occupy Abkhazia and after a bloody battle they failed. They insist they ... Read more >

Rhodes 2015

GREECE | Saturday, 14 Feb 2015 | Views [459]

Who goes to a Greek island in February? I do. Why? Because their season is actually closed which means no tourists around and this is just the way I like it. I had the whole island to myself along with the locals. There were no queues for tickets. No ... Read more >


Going Back to Cambodia After 15 Years

CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 24 Dec 2014 | Views [673]

This was my second trip to Cambodia. The first was 15 years ago when it wasn't the most popular place to visit. How I wished I was back in time on this trip. I arrived in Siem Reap excited to see the beautiful temples again but was not prepared for ... Read more >

Varanasi Pilgrimage Oct 2014

INDIA | Friday, 24 Oct 2014 | Views [521]

I have been to India many times and I still don't like it. I wonder why I keep going. It's because there are hidden gems to be found when I look closer. Varanasi is one of those gems. Millions of Hindus find their way to Varanasi to seek enlightenment, ... Read more >
