Recently I was approached by The Dream Lodge Group, a family run business for 50 years focusing on operating luxury parks within the UK. They have created a handy South England Travel Map tool which allows you to easily explore any of a number of locations, attractions, activities and restaurant options within select locations in the southern part of England. I've been fortunate to have visited London a number of times over the years as well … [Read more...]
Channel Your Inner Cowboy on a Guest Ranch in Bandera, Texas
When Australians go to the USA, statistically, they will most likely hit up Orlando, New York, Chicago and LA. But what about all that land in between? No Texas? No Arizona? No Wyoming? They didn’t even make the top 10. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to all 4 of those cities and they are fantastic holiday destinations. But what if you want to get off the beaten path a little? On my last trip to the States I spent some time in a few of … [Read more...]
Berlin: 5 Romantic Gay Friendly Experiences
Berlin is super gay. Gayness is so well accepted in every aspect of society that you’ll find sprinkles of it everywhere. Today, most people associate the city with crazy sex fetish clubs and an extremely lax attitude to, well just about everything. In fact, you’re not far from the truth: in Berlin, anything goes, except crossing the road when it’s red. Don’t get caught jaywalking in Germany! Couples (straight or gay) will in particular love … [Read more...]

Urban Camping, Zürich Switzerland
On a bright partly cloudy sunny day I found myself tethered to a speeding boat in Lake Zürich Switzerland, attempting my first wake boarding. Several fellow journalists enjoying cold beers and sunshine were watching me from the boat while I found myself struggling to stay warm in the early summer's cold waters. Fortunately they were also cheering me on. I was pulled out of the water successfully on the first try and then again 5 subsequent times. … [Read more...]
First Week USA Challenge ‘Fifty States of Wigge’
I am currently on my new USA Challenge challenge called ‘Fifty States of Wigge’. That means I have to travel all 50 states in 50 days and I have to face one challenge in each state. My start of the USA challenge was in Maine last week, traveling all by van. The result after seven days is pretty awsome, because I have traveled to already eleven states and drove 1,400 miles. Eleven states sounds way ahead of my schedule, but keep in mind that … [Read more...]
Traveling to Malaysia?

I was recently approached by a Malaysian online booking company that offers flight tickets, Traveloka Malaysia. I was not familiar with this company; in the past I've booked directly through some of the major airlines in this part of the world or some … [Read more...]

This compact interactive card game recently came across our desk - the directions as listed on the outside of the box seemed simple enough "Predict your opponent's answer and the reason why". It comes with a cool tagline to: "An Absurdly Provocative Game For Thinking People". And always looking for a much needed social activity in a world dominated by screens these days I was immediately intrigued. Three versions of this game can be chosen … [Read more...]
Traveling Kids Grow up Too Fast
Traveling kids have a big advantage over their “stay at home” peers, in my opinion. The world is an amazing place but especially so for young children as everything they see is fresh and exciting, filled with wonder. Traveling with them adds a whole new level of joy and energy to any trip as you feed off their enthusiasm. As I have just discovered, it comes at a long term cost to parents, but more on that later. Little travelers have a … [Read more...]
