Uganda
I’ll Start by saying this: My trip to Uganda was one of the best trips I’ve ever had and I would absolutely recommend everyone to visit! Summary: We organised an all inclusive trip (meals, hotels/lodges, driver/guide, transport and park entry fees). The company we used (Adventure in the Wild Safari) I picked because my friends…
Greece
I traveled to Greece for 8 days, during the reopening (COVID-19) to tourists in May 2021. I’ll spare you the covid restriction details (passport, vaccination, PCR test etc.) but I’ve made a quick summary below for anyone looking for simple tips/advice/things to do… Day 1 in Greece Athens Athens is a city full of cats,…
Luang Prabang, Laos
I was a little worse for wear landing in Luang Prabang after a few days in Phuket for a friends wedding. So I maybe wasn’t as prepared as I should have been for the arrival but anyway most countries can get visa on arrival: Visa price varies but it was 35 USD for Ireland, plus…
Macedonia
Anew approach to blogging. short and to the point. here is where I went and what I thought. Simples. A short but well spent stay in Macedonia. Kokino Location: https://goo.gl/maps/5DidcJT58rkeGonA9 It’s a relatively short drive from the airport, with no other tourists around it’s was the perfect place to enjoy a quiet and beautiful view…
Salalah, Oman
Arriving in the airport I was pleasantly surprised how small and new it was. Its a good combination usually! At the time of landing it appeared that we were the only flight landing which meant going through customs should be straight forward enough. As I walked towards customs clearance I seen that there was a…
Yerevan, Armenia
I got the bus from the airport and found the hostel easily enough using maps.me. It was a decent hostel, near Republic square. After I checked in. I went for walk, to check out genocide museum. I had heard a bit about the Armenian genocide when I visited Lebanon and seen how many Armenians were…
24 hours in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovenia
What a little gem. Arriving anywhere to a beautiful sunny day always helps and Sarajevo was no different. The Airport was pretty small and easy to get in and out of but the best part was the scenery, green mountains surrounded the airport with terra-cotta coloured roofs dotting the landscape. My research had shown that…
Taipei, Taiwan
As the plane was coming in to land at Hualien airport it was clear that what I had heard about Hualien and the countryside was true. The part of Taiwan was worth a trip on its own, although unfortunately, it wouldn’t be on this trip. There were no other planes at the airport when I…
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
I got the overnight bus from Siem Reap using the Giant Ibis bus company (the most reliable I could find from research). The only problem with it being quicker (1 and a half hours less than expected) is that I arrived at 5am and didn’t really have anywhere to go. So I went for a walk along the promenade…
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Landing in Siem Reap airport was a bit strange as I walked off the plane and had to find my own way inside, from the plane. A group of us even got lost before being redirected! The visa on arrival staff were as ignorant as I’ve met anywhere, which is disappointing as these are the first…
