Caravan of camels in the Sahara Desert near Merzouga, Morocco.

I keep my travel blogs and photos online so friends and family can follow my travels. Actually, it also serves as my personal travel journal now ... so there's one less thing to carry while on the road.

AirAsia X had introductory fares from Christchurch to KL for NZD99 each way (inclusive of taxes). We had to find a reason to travel … so we’re off to see the Komodo dragons near Flores, Indonesia ... then a friend in Jakarta ... and of course, family in Kuching. [Read more] [View photos]

One of the most scenic rail journeys in the world (supposedly) is only a short flight away from home. No better time than early spring to admire the snowy peaks of the Southern Alps. [Read more] [View photos]

2010 Colombo, Lebanon, Syria & Aceh

posted 14 May 2011 22:59 by Alex Chan

Strange combination, ain’t it? Yes, Air Asia had another sale. Eight flights totalling 29 hours flying time for only NZD200 (less than EUR100 or USD140)… plus airport taxes. Of course I couldn't just resist but to go even further ... to Lebanon and Syria. [Read more] [View photos]
