This is a guest post by Dave Dean from What’s Dave Doing? With a squeal of brakes the noisy old bus clattered into the station and wheezed to a stop, kicking up a small cloud of dust in the early afternoon sunshine. The brief silence was shattered as the door swung open to a crowd of tuk-tuk drivers clamouring to offer over-priced rides into the city. I scooped up my
The headline distressed me. “22 year old Australian man dies on flying fox in Laos” I didn’t have to read any more of the article to know what had happened. Copious amounts of alcohol in Vang Vieng and common sense lost. Yep. Confirmed, and I was also shocked to read that 22 people died on this famous river tube pub crawl last year. This should not happen. Travel should not
Last weekend, I completed a freelance travel writing course with the Sydney Writers Centre. It was a two day intensive course where I learned the tricks to freelance writing and was armed with many tools and strategies to help me start pitching to print publications to sell my travel stories. Why not? You can listen to the video below where I tell you why I really loved the course and
There is no better way to get insider travel tips for Medellin, Colombia than to ask someone who has lived there as a local. As part of our “Travel Tips Tuesday” series, we sat down and interviewed Dave Lee from GoBackpacking.com who lived in Medellin for 18 months for his personal tips on what to do in Medellin? Not only did Dave give us great insider knowledge on what to
Have you ever wanted to reach out a foot and scrape it along the ground so you can stop the world and jump off it? Trapped in a vortex, you cannot see clearly enough what it is you are doing and why. Forget even trying to think about what you should do next, the vertigo grips and squeezes all rational thought or ambition out of you. I recently wrote a
Chinatown in Sydney is a place we venture to quite often. We love Asian food. We love authentic Asian food. And we love value for money. You get all that in Chinatown Sydney. It’s no secret Sydney can be an expensive place to visit, and dining out is no exception. So more often than not, whether it be lunch or dinner, when we take our regular day trips into Sydney
This is a guest post by Kristyn from MummyK Just to get it out there, Manila isn’t the Philippines. It’s where the main international airport is but I hope you don’t judge the country by its entrance (there are stories that they are spending billions to fix the international airport too, but I’ll wait until I see it). After living in Sydney for eight years now, there are things that
I’ll never forget where we were when we found out. Lisa’s guesthouse in Yangshuo China. We had just gotten back after glorious day cycling through the Yangshuo countryside and decided to check our emails before heading out for dinner. AS soon as I opened the Yahoo browser, a picture of a stingray and the latest news headline flashed up at me. I blinked several times and read the words over
When I’m researching for the best travel tips for things to see and do at a destination, I love to get insider tips from a local. As part of our “Travel Tips Tuesday” series, we interviewed local DC resident and travel blogger Matt Long from Landlopers.com for his tips on what to do in DC? Not only did Matt give us great insider knowledge on what to see in DC,
There’s always the raging debate trying to define what a “real” traveller is. I’ve written about it before at Being Cool off the Beaten Path and Amanda from A Dangerous Business wrote a good post “the Tourist verse Traveller debate” recently as well.
