Cardiff to Baku via Prague. Wales drew 1-1.

Well, where to start? This morning dawned grey and drizzly, but with the whole of the city to see and a day in which to do it, I ignored the elements and waited for Aidyn.   Aidyn co-owns, among other enterprises, a travel company in Baku and our mutual friend Ia in Tbilisi thought that we s…

My travelling throught the Caucasus countries started with a trainjourney from the Netherlands to Brussels. When I arrived in Brussels, it was 01.30am allready and with an airplane leaving for Riga at 09.00am, there was no point for me to search for accomodation in Belgium capital. So I decided to …

I woke up at 6am this morning to the sound of rain.  March Madness has begun and I needed to check the scores.  Aside from Duke losing, no major upsets.  I had to make sure that I had everything unplugged before leaving the apartment.  I used to pay a flat rate of 10 manat …

July 5The exploration of the day was Isti Su. This literally means “Hot Water.” Isti Su is a Soviet Era sanitarium – but really there are a set of hot springs. At least, that was my understanding after a conversation I had at the place I finally found in the mountains. The Soviet Era sanitari…

This is just the start of my postcard collection. I put these up quite awhile ago and just now got around to editing them and posting this. I have a lot more cards that need to be scanned and added, but this is definitely becoming one of my favorite hobbies! Thanks to Gooseberry for coming up with this grand idea!

My life as a flight attendant -- as of right now it's just an itinerary of where I've been but I may add some places to go, sites to see, and all that soon. = )

Living in Europe for a few years and traveling around whenever I can.

I know this is a shock for anyone who knows me, but I am planning something... a silk road trip. I don't have a time frame yet (next spring I hope) but looking for any feedback from anyone. Also would love to find a few places to stay and friendly faces along the way.

I have heard such a great deal about Baku both last year and then this year from Azeris in Georgia.They were all extremely proud of their capital. So far the city has lived up to their descriptions in some ways though not in all. They boasted about how modern the city is, which is only partially tr…

I know many of you have never heard of Azerbaijan, and for that you should be glad. There were some scenes in a James Bond movie filmed in this former Soviet republic and lifelong enemy of Armenia, with a casino and Russian babes draped around rich men in tuxedos--which is utter bullshit--and a sce…

A road trip to Baku to watch Azerbaijan v Wales in the world cup, and raising money for orphanages along the way!
