    High in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco is a small village of Imlil, popular with tourists who want a base to go on walking tours into the mountains.

  • Marrakech: A city of Hidden Jewels Marrakech: A city of Hidden Jewels

    If you expect me to begin by spouting some amazing travel guide-like description of Marrakech (or Marrakesh as some people spell it) with lots of superlatives, you'll be mistaken. To be quite frank with you, when I got in a taxi from the airport to the Riad Sindibad where I was staying, the fir...

    It seems that there's only two places to swim with the scariest thing in the ocean without dying, one of them being South Africa, and the other being Port Lincoln in Australia.  I had the opportunity to go swimming with the ultimate predator of the ocean, the Great White Shark on my road trip a...

  • South Australia: Kangaroo Island South Australia: Kangaroo Island

    One of the most beautiful places I have been without a doubt in Australia is Kangaroo Island. Whilst I had fun in the Whitsundays and on Fraser Island, the less well-known Kangaroo Island had a much more rugged, picturesque, back-to-nature feel. Powder white sandy beaches, seals, kangaroos, rivers, ...

    Port Elliot is a beach resort on the Flerieu Peninsula just about an hour south of Adelaide and a great place to escape the city and enjoy the ocean.
