Sunday’s Inspiration: Too Busy Raising Cane? Back On The Street Again. I’m Back On The Top Again! | 10 Year Challenge
“I’m too busy raising cane. I’m back on the street again. I’m,,, back on the top again” – Van Morrison. We join fads. We cling to the popular. We need to belong and we need to be like everybody else, we want to be the same as everyone. It’s human nature. Nobody likes to be Read more about Sunday’s Inspiration: Too Busy Raising Cane?

Thirsty Thursdays: A Wacaday Night in Krasnodar, Russia
Krasnodar is a Russian city of a million people, or more. That doesn’t even guarantee heard-of ness from common tourists and whackpackers. Indeed I hadn’t even heard of this joint before my trip! It was a pure fire wacaday spot of madness to bung into the final days of my visa free entrance into Russia, Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: A Wacaday Night in Krasnodar, Russia[…]
Visa Rules and Regulations 2019
Most people dream to travel all around the world, but the majority just can’t find the time, resources or any other solutions to do so. A few people, however, made their dream come true and even travel for a living (such as wacaday travel bloggers or travel show hosts). It’s nice to see and experience other Read more about Visa Rules and Regulations 2019[…]
Backpacking in Switzerland: Staying at the Urban Hostel Culture in Basel
“She’s a Nazi, She’s a Nazi, She’s a Nazi Way oh Way” – Switzerland (Cheatzerland) supporters. This was a weird one, as I have only ever been to Switzerland twice in my life and both times have such similarities to them. They were both in years ending in 7. I also visited a wacaday republic Read more about Backpacking in Switzerland: Staying at the Urban Hostel Culture in Basel[…]
Backpacking in Benin: Visiting the Capital City, Porto Novo “Baby”
“Fly me down to capital city in the sun”- Noel Gallagher. It came as more of a shock to my travel friend Malina than me that the muddy, agricultural hub known collectively as Porto Novo is the capital of Benin. I guess I kind of expected it. Having witnessed some unusual capital cities on my Read more about Backpacking in Benin: Visiting the Capital City, Porto Novo “Baby”[…]
Backpacking in Lebanon: A Super Time at Mady’s Hostel in Beirut
New Year’s Eve has seen me bed hop, city hop and country hop a lot in recent years. 2018 ended in a similar fashion, as I began 2019 in Beirut, capital city of Lebanon. I came across a cosy little hostel online, with its own flashy website and a cool location in the Lebanese capital Read more about Backpacking in Lebanon: A Super Time at Mady’s Hostel in Beirut[…]
Backpacking in Saint Petersburg: My Winter Stay at the Kino Hostel, Vyborgsky District
“A world in white is underway” – Paul Hewson. First of all thanks to the Russian government’s decision to give all World Cup ticket holders (and therefore FAN ID holders) visa free entry until 31st December 2018. It meant we could all go back for unlimited entries into Russia (any city, by land, by air…) Read more about Backpacking in Saint Petersburg: My Winter Stay at the Kino Hostel, Vyborgsky District[…]
The Best Beaches and Hideaways in the Republic of Ireland
