Last Train To Nowhere: Touring The Dis-Used Train Station in Asuncion, Paraguay🇵🇾 - Don't Stop Living

Not only have I watched many documentaries on train travel, but I have a fascination with railway stations the world over - whether used or not.     So I found out at some point (whether through…

The John Freakin Muir Podcast: Backpacking Centurion Exclusive, Lock In Lee, Broccoli Farming and Antarctica - Don't Stop Living
Aside from my shelved (and in many ways flopped) radio career, doing podcasts and radio interviews became a new trend on my backpacking adventures.

I am featured this week on the fantastic John Freakin' Muir Pod by excellent presenter Doc.…

Countries I Have Backpacked In But Skipped Their Capital City🇦🇶🇧🇴🇧🇷🇨🇦🇨🇩🇻🇨 - Don't Stop Living
"Fly me down to capital city in the sun" - Noel Gallagher. Inspired by Nomadic Backpacker Trevor Warman's post on capital cities he skip-packed on his journeys, here is a list of capital cities that escaped me to date (as of September 2024). For whatever reason, I have visited all these countries below but I was never in their capital…

Backpacking in Albania🇦🇱: On Arrival in Tirana, I Had Completed Every UEFA Country But Had Deep Depression - Don't Stop Living
"A valued destiny comes to nothing"- New Order. Although alphabetically first in terms of UEFA countries, Albania ended up being the last UEFA country that I visited. At the ripe old age of 41, I landed in Tirana, Albania on a flight from Vienna. This was no paradise or backpacker's dream. Happiness, like many things in my life, had been…
