Living on an Island always makes going abroad an adventure. No simple drive to cross over the next border, you either have to fly or catch a ferry to head off to that exotic destination. When you first make that trip of a lifetime, every country you visit is new and wonderful. In a different country, even shopping at the local Supermarket, which in Britain  is the most boring pastime possible, now becomes an Aladdin's cave. There are new and wonderful things to stir the soul, foods to attack your palate, scents that make your senses reel and our feeble attempts at the local language that have to be heard to be believed.

On every trip my wife Barbara and I have taken, we have always tried, whenever possible, to meet the local people, eat new foods, and to search out strange and breathtaking sites either on foot, bicycle or local bus. We can only sit on the beach for about one hour before boredom starts to set in. Then we decide to take a short trek or mountain bike ride that usually ends up as a marathon with an adventure around every corner.

So this site is aimed at all the people that want to travel cheaply to destinations that on the face of it don't sound that exotic. These places can become the most rewarding and exciting experiences of a lifetime. You just have to take the time and trouble to get away from your hotel bar.
