I visited Munich, Germany on the start of a journey with a good friend and it was just at the end of Octoberfest, so there was still a great deal of drinking to be done. Visiting some of the beer gardens was a fun adventure. It is a nice city but not as beautiful or…
DetailsLisbon Portugal is a seaside city and one of my favorite places on earth. The city has a gorgeous old town, historical buildings and very friendly people. I have been there a few times now and love the old town and especially traveling to some of the gorgeous beaches there.
Bar Waikiki, Lisbon Portugal is one of those treats you find by luck. Just a short distance from Lisbon, you catch a cute train that runs along many of the beaches here in Lisbon. You can get a lounge for $5 a day and service is excellent. Be warned the water in the beaches of…
DetailsFlying into Geneva, Switzerland is one of the best arrivals one can think of with its mountain range kissing the flanks of the aircraft. Geneva is a beautiful city situated on lake Geneva, it is probably one of the most expensive cities in Europe, so a short stay is advised for those on a budget.
Athens, Greece is one of my favorite cities and at night it is just as spectacular. A real treat is walking up close to the mountain that dominates the city and having a great meal on the steps. Be sure to be ready to walk a lot as there is so much to see by…
DetailsIstanbul, Turkey is one of the most amazing cities of the world. It is a melting pot of religions for the most part living in harmony and at the moment a looking glass into how other Middle Eastern Countries should be. I hope the current President doesn’t ruin it. I was there during the riots…
DetailsRiga, Latvia is an amazing old city with a pretty dark past. The old town is quite small but the city is big enough for a full weeks travel. Make sure you visit the ghettos and parks in and around Riga, Latvia. I took the ghetto bike tour and it was fantastic!
Tallin, Estonia is one of those Medieval Cities and absolutely gorgeous. The old town especially is wonderful and the castles forts and checkered history (always being invaded) makes for wonderful storytelling! Again a bike tour is a must!
Frankfurt, Germany is one of those cities that you cannot avoid when traveling to Europe as it is a major hub. I suggest a few days in Frankfurt as it is a beautiful city right on a gorgeous river. The old town mixed with modern architecture is a treat!
Townsville, Queensland is in the North East Coast of Australia and it is hot. Many people come to Townsville to go to Magnetic Island or one of the other Islands nearby. It is hot all year round and has an amazing mountain dwarfing the city.
Buenos Aires, Argentina was a wonderful trip for me. Got to meet up with a lifelong friend and tour the beautiful city. A lot to see here and the food is incredible (if you like meat). It is a big city to walk in, so I suggest again the bike tour!
Hamilton Island, Whitsunday Islands, Queensland is one of thousands of Islands dotted in the Whitsunday Islands, Queensland. I went to Hamilton Island to do a talk. Hamilton Island is really a family and couples Island, but it didn’t stop me from having a paddle and swim in its pristine waters!
Williamstown, Victoria is now a place my 3 sisters and parents call home. It is a gorgeous seaside village type town across the Westgate Bridge in Victoria Australia. A treat is just walking through the historic old town or taking a ferry to Melbourne City and through the Yarra River into the heart of Melbourne!
Bellerive is the city where I played 9 years of football for Clarence District Football Club. I ventured back there to catch up with some friends for an impromptu dinner and drinks and about 20 of my buddies showed up. East Coast Tasmania. I also ventured up the East Coast of Tasmania and stayed with…
DetailsRome, Italy is just one of those places you can visit time and time again and find something new and amazing. I have been there a few times now and the food, architecture, history always surprises me. If you get a chance grab a bike tour early on and get a good overview of this…
DetailsParis, France is one of those cities you must visit and it was special for me for a number of reasons. Visiting the Louvre is a must, but so is walking the streets and getting a little lost in some of the lesser known areas.
Berlin, Germany is a city I had visited many times, but a few years ago I decided to explore it further, and it was amazing. I took the big fat bike tour (a must in Berlin) and got to see so much of the city I missed before. Now it is one of my favorite…
DetailsGothenburg, Sweden is one of two cities I have been to in Sweden and definitely my favorite. Not only because I have a great friend there in Marica, but because it is such a beautiful region. Be sure to visit so0me of the islands by ferry and do not go to a quiz night !
Savannah, Georgia is such a beautiful city. The old part of town is rather small, but it has so many unique features. Be sure to take a walking tour with Savannah Dan whose enthusiasm for its history and culture will leave you breathless!
Prague, Czech Republic is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Whether it be the castles, fortresses or just the old town, Prague has something to offer both the younger traveler and seasoned tourist alike. It is one3 of the don’t miss cities of the world!
Budapest is perhaps one of the least visited cities by Westerners in the world and it shouldn’t be. It has so much more to offer than most cities and I count it one of the greatest cities in the world.
I have been to Venice a couple of times now and it always has a treat in store for you. It is one of the few cities in the world that you are happy to get lost in. My tip is to find hidden restaurants where locals live. Also catch a private water taxi from…
DetailsBoston, Massachusetts is a place I lived for a few years from 2009 to 2011 before moving to Miami Beach. It is one of the more historic cities in America and with a great sporting tradition. I loved my time there and go back from time to time.
San Francisco is one of those iconic American cities. With its rolling streets, fantastic cultural scene it is always a city I love visiting. You can also visit Alcatraz by ferry from San Francisco which is a pretty amazing place. Be sure to do a guided tour though!
Of all my formative years, my time at Vermont, both at the football club and cricket club will always hold great memories for me. It was without doubt the best football social club I have ever been a part of and I count so many people I met there as lifelong friends. I returned again…
DetailsI was born and raised in Mooroolbark, Victoria, which in aboriginal language means “Red Earth”. As a child Mooroolbark was very much a country town, but suburbia crept up on it over the years and now it is just part of the outer Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. I went to primary school at St Peter…
DetailsI spent nearly a decade of my life in Tasmania. It is where I started my business career, it was where I continued my football career and it was where I met a lot of my lifelong friends. Hobart is a cooler place and the capital city of Tasmania, an island state to the south…
DetailsColombia is one of my favorite countries in the world. The people are happy, the cities steeped in history. One place I have returned to often is Cartagena, a long history and its old city is gorgeous.
I lived in Bondi Beach from 2004 until 2009. It is one of my favorite places in the world. Only 15 minutes from Sydney and beach after beach after surf beach. The restaurants, cafes, and local people are amazing. But the highlight was always a walk, run along the track from Bondi to Maroubra, taking…
