I’ve had a look back at some of my old posts and I think some of them deserve a re-write and I’m going to start with my trip to Lithuania, back in 2011. Wow, that was a long time ago. No wonder I’ve never blogged them as they deserve. So I’m going to start with… More A spring trip to Vilnius
This is an idea I had six or eight months ago but I didn’t have time to do it in the autumn or winter but today, at last, come and join me for my no-cruise cruise! I’m not a cruise person. I never will be. First, emetophobes and long boat journeys don’t mix. Second, I’d… More Come with me on a no-cruise cruise!
In my last post, I talked about the logistics of getting to Tbilisi without ending up arriving at 3am and how the best option for me ended up being flying into Cyprus to get a lunchtime flight into Tbilisi. And since I was arriving in the evening and leaving at lunchtime the next day, I… More A layover in Cyprus in January
It’s time for the second part of my vlog series about my trip to Georgia and this week’s is how to get to Tbilisi when there are no direct flights and all the indirect ones arrive and depart in the middle of the night. I actually only covered this subject in blog form less than… More New video: How to get to Tbilisi (A Week in Tbilisi part 2)
It’s the last of the Georgia blogs today. At long last, I think I’ve written every word about Tbilisi and Tserovani and Mtskheta and Uplistsikhe and it’s time for something new. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing somewhere new and that you’ll consider Tbilisi if you want somewhere new and interesting to go, or if you’re… More Georgia on film
The first and hardest bit of the trip to Georgia was figuring out my flights. Georgia is not easy to get to from the UK. There are no direct flights. There are rumours of a low-cost Georgian airline launching in May and operating direct flights from Gatwick, rumours which half the creators at Traverse are gleefully… More How I got to Tbilisi
It’s time for the first of the Georgia videos! Oh, it’s taken a long time to get this out – I didn’t film as much as I should have and I’ve spent at least the last month wondering whether I can even get a single video out of the trip to Tbilisi. But it’s looking… More New video: A weekend in Larnaca (A Week in Tbilisi part 1)
I’d still deciding whether or not to publish this because I don’t think any of it is going to be helpful to anyone but let’s talk about how much my week in Tbilisi cost me. Most of the activities were included in my Traverse conference ticket and while my instinct was to say that it… More How much did my week in Tbilisi cost?
Well, it feels very late to be publishing this considering I started reading it at 7am on official release day on January 11th but there’s been so much Georgia stuff and I had other stuff to slot in but finally, it’s time for Alastair Humphreys’ Local. I read his Ask An Adventurer last year and… More Travel Library: Local by Alastair Humphreys
What do you wear when you go to Georgia in winter? What’s the weather like and what do you need to take? Well, I think I got it kind of completely wrong but that’s ok because now you’ll know. I started with finding out the weather in February. January too – I titled this Georgia… More What I wore in Georgia in February
