If you are after Africa Holidays, you may just be surprised by the options available. From the exotic animals of Madagascar, the Pyramids of Egypt, Desert trekking in the central countries. Beach breaks and nice food can be found in many places, Morocco is a fine example of this in the north west of Africa.

For a bit of culture, many people choose South Africa Holidays. Especially after local development to host the 2010 world cup football tournament.

Following on from a previous post of James Cracknells Toughest Race on Earth, comes the end of the trilogy – coldest race on earth.

This time he’s going to do everything in cold environments and burn a lot more calories doing so. Have a check of the video to see what it’s all about.

He is also doing this 430 mile challenge 6 months after a cycling accident which put him out of order for a bit to add to the challenge.

The program is featured on Discovery channel (and Discovery HD) at 9pm on Thursday, be sure to check it out!

They’re really quite simple questions! Take it from the expert. Broke and budgeting, but bewildered by the prospect of holidaying in Phuket, I still managed to have the experience of a lifetime…..and it lasted a total of THREE WEEKS!

Not Running Away

March 31, 2011 · 12 comments

It appears I’m one of the closest foreigners to the March 11th earthquakes to talk about it and get media attention (I did an interview for BBC world news and several friends spotted me in Asia, Australia, Canada and Europe – one benefit of travelling and getting friends from around the world is they can tell you they’ve seen you when you’re on worldwide news!).

Japan is getting back on it’s feet in general, but the Sendai area is obviously still devastated. I have returned to the Fukushima area after a couple of weeks in Tokyo so I thought it’s about time I chip in and give my opinion and thoughts on the matter to the gaijin and tourists of Japan.

Hubpages Challenge

6 Months Later...

 

This post is a bit of a break from all the travel stuff and is about my feeble adventures in making money online. 6 Months ago I completed the hubpages challenge, an experiment in making money online where I published writing on the hubpages website, put Google adsense on and links to Amazon products (where I get a tiny percentage (3-5%) of any product sold). As I promised at the end of the experiment I’m now going to analyse whether it worked or not and if it’s worth doing. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →
