Lady in the Balkans
Blog: A Lady in London - 3 October 2011
Most people thought I was crazy to travel to the Balkans by myself. I was lectured on safety, on health, on everything imaginable. But I had been curious about the region for years, not least because the only thing I really knew about it related to the conflicts in the 1990’s. There was surely more [...]

Lady in Skopje
Blog: A Lady in London - 27 September 2011
Skopje reminded me of Tomorrowland. I mean that in every sense of the word. In the Disneyland sense, it looked like a 1960’s version of what the future thankfully didn’t turn out to look like. In the modern sense, new, futuristic buildings and public spaces were popping up everywhere in the capital of Macedonia. There [...]

FYROM Skopje, Without Love
Blog: Joe's Trippin' - 7 May 2011
Some places are worth going back to. Although my goal is to continuously explore the unknown, there are times when either by design or accident i end up visiting the same place again and again. In 2004, i found myself wandering through the Balkan states, as i was moving from one contract to another.

Things to do in Skopje
Blog: Sophie's World - 8 April 2011
Skopje isn’t what leaps to mind when you think of European cities, is it? It’s probably among the lesser known capitals, along with Chisinau. To me, it was the easiest...Things to do in Skopje is a post from Sophie's World

Skopje, Macedonia
Blog: Vagobond.com - 24 March 2011
The bus trip from Nis to Skopje was something that just really needed to happen. Serbia and I were like peanut butter and tunafish, we just didn't go together at all.

Nis Fortress – Important Serbian Historical Place
Blog: Vagobond.com - 23 March 2011
Before I leave Serbia (actaully, I already have) I want to give a quick impression of Nis which is the first stop from Sofia, Bulgaria when you enter Serbia by bus and in my case, was also the last stop before I left for Skopje, Macedonia (also by bus).

Where I’ve Been…hostels, hotels, and couches.
Blog: Vagobond.com - 12 March 2011
Travel around the world and you are sure to want to write about it. One thing you will discover is that finding the time to write about your travels isn't always easy. Far too often you have to put things off until you have some down time and if you are doing things right, you won't have much of that!

Ode to Cyrillic
Blog: Murmurs from a foriegn land. - 29 October 2010
Skopje, Macedonia The bus from Istanbul left at 5pm and made its way to the border between Bulgaria and Turkey. We arrive shortly before sun down. But we’re stuck here waiting in a massive line for the next 2-3 hours. The road into Turkey seems fine, the road out is huge. I bide my time [...]

By the beard of Zeus
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 17 October 2009
The thing I’m wanting from Greece most … warmth. There’s no heating at all in the bathroom at the guesthouse I’ve been staying at and when in the shower this morning the water started to cool just after I’d applied shower gel to my body, it was then a frantic race to get as much [...]

Spotified
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 8 October 2009
Somedays I end up eating very little and some quite the opposite. Today was the latter. I started with 2 full boiled eggs while waiting for my 4 slices of bread to toast, 2 of which I put butter on and the other 2 chocolate spread. Yum. More grub to follow later. Before brekkie I [...]

Billy no amigos
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 7 October 2009
Last night I had an epic pool session with a chap from Suffolk. We’d had one the night before until 3 in the morning (powered by 9 pints on my side) and I’d been pipped 6-5. This time round I found myself 4-0 down so took a little break to give myself a one on [...]
