How to visit Mogadishu, Somalia
When doing research for my recent trip to southern Somalia, information online was almost impossible to find. Basic info on accommodation and security took hours, if not days, of trawling through every corner of the web. There was NO decent information about visiting Mogadishu. Until now. Screw Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Wikitravel, and Bradt. Naughty […]

What are one’s first impressions of Artsakh? Where the hell am I? Most of you probably haven’t heard of this little self-proclaimed republic. (It hard to be taken seriously when your flag […]
Are you a Swagabond?
Romantic travel is dead. Gone are the days of the intrepid explorer, those daring adventurers of yesteryear. Through globalisation, satellite technology, and modern communications, few places remain undiscovered in the 21st century. It’s sad to say, but the Age of Exploration has well and truly past. Or has it? The Age of Exploration is not […]
