No toilet too dirty, no room too squalid, no food too weird and no insect too big...even when it's in my food. What an amazing diversity of landscapes - mountains stretching into the clouds, castaway island beaches, crystal clear blue seas, humid overgrown ... Read more >

NICARAGUA | Thu, 10 Apr 2008 | By all_powered_up | Views [1890] | Comments [1]
"Some things change" (my plans), "and some things do not" (my lack of time). It's a strange series of events that sees me not staying in Nicaragua any longer - as I'd envisaged doing. Due to a mix of timings, border crossings, costs, ... Read more >

How do you spend your last few days in a place that has become like a second home? You are aware that soon you´ll be in dorms again, sharing your personal space with strangers, that you´ll become a master toilet inspector and a connoisseur of bad smells.... Read more >

NEW ZEALAND | Fri, 1 Feb 2008 | By all_powered_up | Views [1388] | Comments [1]
Perhaps more than any other country, New Zealand was the one i wanted to visit. Yet for all its beauty and dramatic landscapes I've been ready to leave here for a couple of weeks. NZ caters for the backpackers incredibly well - travel, bookings and ... Read more >

It's strange to be back on the road again. Stewart island has been my 'home' for nearly 4 weeks and it's been a year since I've stopped in one place for that long. Adjustment and fitting in become middle names when travelling for so long though. My ... Read more >

AUSTRALIA | Wed, 7 Nov 2007 | By all_powered_up | Views [938]
Time has just flown eh, with barely enough time to get a stubby from the eskie, put another prawn on the barbie or run for the now needed dunny. Over 10 weeks have been skied, trekked, drunk, dived and toured away -and I've barley scratched the surface ... Read more >

I've been nearly 8 months in Asia, and yet I've barely scratched the surface. This tiger has left deep impressions on my mind and soul. Dragged over many a culture shock inducing bump, I think I've gradually learnt to tame the animal (editor: OK enough!) ... Read more >

MALAYSIA | Wed, 8 Aug 2007 | By all_powered_up | Views [1879]
KFC's on every corner, palm tree plantations as far as the eye can see, being only set-up for the tour loving, money spending tourist. Or, world class diving, beautiful islands and wildlife parks that I've only dreamt about. Like all places there are ... Read more >

It's fair to say I don't want to leave this country. I've spent more time in Thailand (around10 weeks) than any other on my journey so far, and there's still a lot of it I haven't seen and would like to visit. How do you summarise a country that's ... Read more >

LAOS | Sat, 28 Apr 2007 | By all_powered_up | Views [1495] | Comments [1]
The capital of Laos and a place to bore me with a capital B. The most 'exciting' part of my travels was getting to Vientiane. On the way to the airport there had been a bad motorbike crash. A young, very bloody guy, was being propped up on the side ... Read more >

Wow what a country. Another one steeped in history and conflict, war is still raging - but it's the ever growing war of communism versus capitalism. I accept the fact that i will never get used to it; I'm always the wallet, always the one the moto ... Read more >

So it's been a month, I've seen Angkor Wat - number one on my list for SE Asia and I've learned to dive - one of the many things on my list of things to do before i die (sad i know to have a list). I have this feeling i will never be back to Cambodia, ... Read more >
