Welcome back to my blog, where I seek to show you the sort of stuff in countries that travel guides won’t cover. After tacking South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand) last November, this time we’re exploring a couple of countries in South East Europe – Albania and North Macedonia,…

Well it’s been an absolute blast, but today we’re heading home! Good news is, flight isn’t until around 8pm local time, so plenty of time to cram in a few last minute things. We had a bit of a lie in, and dad indulged himself in the buffet breakfast with…

After a pretty hectic first ten days of this trip, today was quite chill and uneventful – giving a welcome chance to recharge batteries for the next few days. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m actually finding these long bus rides quite cathartic in our busy schedule. Today…

Today is Sunday 10th November, and a day we’ve been looking forward to for a long time. We’ll be meeting up with a family friend Sophie Moore who works as a missionary for Elim Church here in Phnom Penh. We meet Sophie in our hotel foyer at 9am, and head…
