brrake2009 - Ken Brown

Ken Brown Hi its just me.... Ken just a normal everyday guy, 34 years old from the state of Alabama in the South East region of the United States. I was raised far from any large city out here in the country in (the sticks). Now I love to travel the world and see far away places...... as far as I can get from this little piss ant town in Alabama lololol.

I have travelled the world extensively over the last 12 years (IRELAND, ENGLAND, NETHERLANDS, FRANCE, BELGIUM, LUXEMBURG, GERMANY, CZECH. REPUBLIC, SLOVAKIA, PORTUGAL, HUNGARY, CROATIA, BOSNIA, AUSTRIA, SWITZERLAND, SLOVENIA, FYR OF MACEDONIA, GREECE, BULGARIA, TURKEY, SYRIA, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, OMAN, BAHRAIN, EGYPT, SOUTH AFRICA, NAMIBIA, BOTSWANA, ZIMBABWE, ZAMBIA, KENYA, SRI LANKA, BURMA, THAILAND, LAOS, CAMBODIA, VIETNAM, SINGAPORE, INDONESIA, MALAYSIA, TAIWAN, SOUTH KOREA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, PUERTO RICO, BAHAMAS, MEXICO) ........ I think that about covers it up to this point :)

I enjoy travelling and sharing stories with fellow travellers from all walks of life. Have made loads of new friends from all over this world and look forward to making even more :) Im gonna be making new entries soon about my recent travels abroad. I will be leaving the USA again on 7 Nov. 2007 for Asia again, and will make blogs along the way. ** I HAVE VERY LITTLE INFO. IN MY BLOGS CURRENTLY, MOSTLY A FEW PICTURES, I WILL MAKE THE BLOGS LONGER AS SOON AS I THINK OF WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD GO THERE **

Ive only been to Dubai two times, this is my most recent to the Emirates. Dubai is not for the budget conscious backpacker. I stayed at the Le Royal Meridien Dubai Hotel, which was appx. usd $200 a night. Took a taxi out to the Al Jumeirah resort and Beaches. The Al Jumeirah is an AWESOME sight, that hotel is HUGE to put it mildly (and you cannot go onto the grounds unless your either a guest or you are dressed in proper attire) guards are checking! The homes in Dubai are grand Im guessing OIL wealth. Anyway I bought a [View Full Entry]

FYR of Macedonia trip
FYR of Macedonia trip
Driving up to the mountains for a week of skiing high above Tetovo, Macedonia.
Ive been to the Former Yugoslav. Rep. of Macedonia 4 times, this is my last trip there. The people of Macedonia are very friendly and inquisitive they will ask you many questions trying to get to know you. Everyone wants to learn English it seems. I met lots of friends in Macedonia and actually made friends with a small family in Tetovo, which is a small town near the capital of Skopje. This is a budget friendly place, prices are very low compared with Western Europe or even the USA. The family I met on the train from Thessaloniki, Greece has [View Full Entry]

Zimbabwe trip 2005
Leaving Victoria Falls airport for Harare, the capital.
I have been to Zimbabwe only once, Me and some friends drove over from Windhoek, Namibia to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe through the Caprivi strip and Botswana. Victoria Falls is breathtaking, be careful if you go there do not get in the water anywhere near the top of the falls, you will be swept away. However you can go rafting below the falls which is lots of fun, you can also bungie from the bridge that goes across from Victoria Falls to Zambia. You can hear the falls from miles away and see the spray also. I stayed at the SprayView hotel [View Full Entry]

A Namibian sunset over Windhoek the capital.
Ive been to Namibia only once. I flew to Windhoek the capital of Namibia from Johannesburg, South Africa via South African Airlines for about usd $150 one way. You can obtain a 30 day visa at Windhoek Int'l airport upon arrival. I stayed at the hostel (Cardboard box) at about usd $4 a night very reasonable. The sunsets are unbelievable in Namibia. Its is also VERY hot here, I left Windhoek by driving to Victoria Falls via the Caprivi Strip which took about 24 hours. You'll see some of the photos below. Any questions just ask.

Victoria Waterfalls from Zambia side of the falls
Ive only been to Zambia once. I crossed at Victoria Falls check point, and went over to Livingstone. Watch your belongings keep it close by. The people of Zambia are amazing though, very helpful and friendly. The prices are very affordable but be sure to haggle with the local prices. The crossing at Victoria Falls is very easy and you can obtain your visa at the crossing for about usd $25 depends which border agent you get that day! There are lots of handicraft sales on the road leading to Livingstone be sure to pick up some of the Zambezi Teak [View Full Entry]

Sicily trip
Looking down a small street
Ive been to Sicily two times while in the Military. You can always see Mt. Etna and its peak smoking from the hot steam inside the Volcano. The food in Sicily is AWESOME, the meatballs are to die for, also lots of fresh seafood. Fields of blood oranges, and you can be in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden come upon a lady offering "her services" so to speak on the side of the road....No kidding! I will never forget that sight. Anyway here are a few pictures. [View Full Entry]

Budapest trip
The Parliament house
Ive been to Hungary 2 times, this is my most recent trip to Budapest and the Hungarian countryside. Budapest the capital is very inexpensive and very affordable on almost any budget. The Buda side of the city is older with lots of markets and castles for exploring. The Pest side of the city I found to be more laid back were most of the Embassies are located. There on the Pest side you'll find the main train station Keleti station where you can find trains to all destinations within Europe and also to Istanbul, Turkey. I found the best restaurants on [View Full Entry]

Me in front of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul
Ive been to Turkey three times in the past 12 years. These photos are of my trips to Istanbul the capital city. Turkey is very inexpensive and very affordable for the most budget traveller. There are lots of hostels, I stayed at the Paris Hostel a couple of times while in Istanbul. There are lots of things to do in Istanbul, Blue mosque, St. Sofia, the Turkish Baths, The Bazaars, and dont forget to haggle your cost down. You can walk almost anywhere in Istanbul, atleast I did, but taxi's are really cheap if you cant do the distance and all [View Full Entry]

The main temple of Angkor
Ive been to Cambodia 4 times in the past few years. I have attached pictures from Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and a few smaller places along the way. The temples of Angkor are AMAZING try to spend atleast 1 full day ATLEAST there. There is so much to see and so many temple complexes to go through. Dont forget the Balloon ride and climbing up to the top of one of the temples to watch the sunset it is somenthing you'll never forget. Be careful for the monkeys around the temples they do bite if you provoke them, and watch for [View Full Entry]
