What To Do In Yeosu: Five Ideas

“What to do in Yeosu?” was the question I asked to myself as Dana and I planned to stay there during our Lunar New Year trip. Nearby Suncheon offered up the sublime Suncheon Bay, and Geumodo…‘s beauty managed to ensare me and bring out the hidden casual hiker in me. Yet before embarking on the trip, I hadn’t actually checked out what to do in Yeosu itself.   Luckily I found plenty in the little port city, which

5 Ideas For the 4000 Islands, Laos

I have a confession, ladies and gentlemen. You know how I was pretty much certain that I would be making it to south east Asia next year as part of my world trip? Well, that’s not happening anymore.   It wasn’t an easy decision to make, and I was going to-and-fro for a long time, wondering whether or not to visit the likes of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia…. In the end, some great air fares in

5 Ideas For Maui

I’ve made no secret of the fact that there’s a gazillion different places I want to go in the USA next year. The country is so incredibly diverse, and if I had the time – and money – I’d love nothing more than to visit every single state.   Even the crazy ones, like Arizona.   Gil Dong and I have settled on the places we’re going…, and flights have been booked. Among the places I have the

5 Ideas For Gay London

I have a confession. I don’t really know London very well. My trips there have always either been family related or visa related, and I’ve never experienced gay London. Well, I went to the famous GAY bar once at about 6pm with a friend whilst waiting for an Emiliana Torrini concert to begin.   We ended up scouting through the bins in Soho as he’d accidentally thrown out the tickets along with a load of junk mail that, for some…

5 Ideas For the Seychelles

The Seychelles is made up of around 115 beautiful islands, some inhabited, some completely isolated. It’s the perfect place to go for a laid-back break, but if you don’t fancy a whole week lying in the sun, there are still plenty of things to see and do! Here are some of the top recommendations while on holiday in the Seychelles. Island-Hopping … Ferries from the main island of Mahe head out to all the surrounding populated islands, including Praslin, La Digue,

5 Ideas For Scotland

Sometimes, I have people tell me that they’re surprised I’m British. It could be my hodge-podge, ridiculously malleable accent that tricks them, but then I wonder, did you read this or this…?   I’m blatantly British.   I mean, I use words like ‘blatantly’ and spell words like ‘favourite’ with the ‘u’ in them.   Which is how they should be spelled.   Here in Korea, I can’t really write much about my beloved homeland, which is why when

5 Ideas for Cape Town

I have a confession to make. When it comes to part of my round the world trip next year, I’m completely and utterly confused. I know I’ll start in the USA, then Colombia and after that, head to Toronto for TBEX, a travel blogging conference where I hope to meet some of the people who continue to inspire me with their work and adventures. After Canada – well, I’m probably heading to Africa, but I’m completely confused now as to…

5 Ideas for the Southeastern USA

Those of you that follow this blog will probably be aware that the first place that I plan on going during my 2013 round-the-world trip is the USA. I even wrote a post about it, which received plenty of suggestions and ideas from all kinds of lovely people – and which made it even harder to decide on where to go with the month or so that I’m planning on giving myself in the country. Adding some more suggestions …

5 Ideas for Busan

Busan hasn’t always been my favourite city in Korea – and it still isn’t. Memories of getting my legs shredded my rocks on the (over-rated) beach, horrible hangovers, taxi rides during nights out on the town (never good) and being packed in like sardines during the annual Fireworks Festival have all meant that I’ve never been the biggest fan of the city. It’s still not my favourite, but at least it’s been elevated from, “Busan sucks” to, “Busan is actually…
