Just hopping in the car for a very much needed 2 week break at Port Macquarie. My choices will be .... pool or beach? Wine or cocktail? Sightsee or snooze? 🥰
I'll also be doing my Walk Out of Darkness while I'm away. If anyone has a few $$ to throw towards a really important issue, here's the link:
Support my 9km walk to prevent suicide and save lives.
I'm walking in Out of the Shadows for Lifeline to ensure no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

The Scando countries are very safe...and very expensive, like all countries they have bad 'hood' areas. Just stick to the touristy places and youll be fine.
Surprisingly Central European countries like Poland, Hungry, Czechia are incredibly safe/cheap and stacked with so much history id say far better than Northern Europe - itll take months/years to get through it all and the loveliest people you will ever meet.
Honestly most parts of the world youll be safe, Just avoid the current hotspots. Syria, Israel, Ukraine, Burma, Yemen all great countries with amazing history and people that Ive been to but wouldn't currently recommend.

Honestly mate, left or right wing of politics at least they are all finally starting to agree with the huge migrant issues in sanctuary cities like NY and Chicago. Somethings gotta change.
Do the Americans have the will/intelligence to make the right choice? We will soon find out.
Darwin, Kakadu and Alice Springs NT. Hahndorf and Barossa Valley SA - All beautiful places. For a complete assault on all of your senses you could try India lol.
Also, I’ve never been, but my brother and sister in law tell me that Croatia is one of the best places to stay in Europe.

US has changed..homelessness is prevalent in every major city..and is totally in yr face.
Youve gotta step over them in downtown SanFrancisco and NYC these days..cant believe their deterioration, particularly SF
Ive worked in both cities,and theyre nothing like 20 yrs ago..a real shame.. and the state of California doesnt pursue theft under $1000..so yr not safe anywhere..and every bum knows it
its a mess
BUT..if u stick with a group,just keep walking...youll have a gr8 experience in these truly wonderful cities which have a lot of very decent and interesting ppl as the majority

House in Maine.... anywhere near the Bush's or the Kennedy's?
One of the great road trips right there, NY to Canada via Conn, RI, Mass, NH, Maine and Vermont. Probably around September-October.
Where's the house?

Yes especially my old Croation workmate, but hes right ans ome of the photos hes shown me are spectacular....I had always thought of it as a cold, landlocked country...how wrong was I.
If international travel has you a bit nervy to start with as someone else mentoned NZ/South Island, Queenstown etc
Its very close and easy...some great things to do and see with plenty tours available to take a lot of the hassle out of it

Terminal 21 Centre. , Nana Seafood , Leks Last Stand Bar , Canal Taxi Ride , Old Bus ride out to Bangkok International Bus terminals , just video differnt parts to give idea why you should come to Bangkok as well as the Phuket’s and Koh Samui
