This week we have another corker courtesy of Miss Mags … Nobody guessed last week’s Where am I Wednesday. The answer is Rome, Italy. You were all so close! The vino goes to Maggie… Congratulations lady! For your chance to win this week’s Mystery Prize, tell us where you think Maggie was when she took [...]

One of the best things about airports is that they’re full of shops that sell cool travel paraphernalia. From neck pillows to luggage tags, I tend to go a little nutzo because they are in the Land of No Financial Consequences. You know that happy place on the other side of Customs where you can go [...]

I am not a fussy traveller. As a kid, I spent many long, hot hours crammed in the backseat of a sweltering Holden stationwagon with two other bigger, stronger kids. Needless to say, I was the thumpee, not the thumper when tensions arose. I am also the daughter of an aircraft engineer so I have spent many happy hours loitering in [...]

Today’s Where am I Wednesday is brought to you by our marvellously well-travelled contributor, Maggie Videan of par excellence. Where was she when she took this shot? First person to get this right wins a bottle of wine. That is how much I love you people – I am willing to share my stash!

I always like to give things two chances, just to be sure that I’m sure. The first time I visited North-East Victoria, I called The Future Husband and told him that we were going to move there (he was bemused, to say the least). I visited again this long weekend and the relationship has been consumated. I [...]

I just found out that Norfolk Island has it’s own language! It’s called Norfolk (unsurprisingly) and it’s a mixture of platt Deutsch (whatever the hell that is), 18th Century English and Tahitian. This has been reappropriated aka stolen directly from the Norfolk Island website. Seriously, who knew?! Norfolk English Whutta-waye? How are you? All yorlye [...]

Name: Michael Delargy   Age: 40 (and thanks for asking!)   Occupation: Hotel Manager   Where do you live and how did you get there?: At the moment in Pattaya, Thailand. The route was a bit roundabout, from Dublin via London (where strangely I was introduced to Australian culture!) then into IT forsome reason and [...]

Pilgrimage to the Taj Mahal An excerpt from ‘100 pens for 100 Indian kids (& other travel stories)’ by Josh Bryer I woke up at 5am to leave plenty of time for my 6.30 express train (2 hours) to Agra –home of the Taj Mahal. The train trip was pleasant – comfortable, with AC and [...]

Our baby is one! The first post went live on September 24th, 2009. Since then, there have been 229 posts about everything from nudist beaches to eating insects in rural China. You have all contributed, whether by sharing your stories, commenting on posts, providing feedback and advice or simply by reading SheGoes. I believe in [...]

Teeny tiny beauty products make me a very happy lady. It’s not because of some sort of creepy Barbie Doll House flashbacks (although I did love that pink plastic mansion). It’s simply because I fear the tyranny of airport security people. I don’t want them tossing my expensive products in the bin while I weep [...]
