Where the ruggers get themselves a sauna and some skis.

Working life restricts my holiday time and means I can't do any extended backpacking for a while.

But it does mean that I can rediscover the delight of two week holidays in one of the most culturally rich continents on earth: Europe. And what's more, on these trips I can usually afford to eat too!

This blog started, as do so many others, with an attempt to let parents and friends know what I was up to during my first ever trip outside of Western Europe: four months in India.

My biggest joys in travel are awe-inspiring scenery, and what I would love to term 'comparative anthropology', but really just involves discoursing wildly on national/cultural characteristics. My dream is to follow Paddy Leigh Fermor'... full info
