Over the past couple of weeks I’ve received about a dozen emails from various...

  • In a recent television interview, comedian David Cross spoke about growing up as a Jewish kid in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1970’s: “I wasn’t bald when I was a kid…I had a little Jew-fro…so people knew I was Jewish,” he said. “Sure, there’s southern hospitality, as long as you’re not different.” (emphasis added) I think [...]

  • Travelling to Iran was always going to be difficult. My interest in the country goes back a number of years, ever since a fast friendship with a member of the Canadian diaspora introduced me to the combination of affability and seriousness that Iranians so often and so charmingly exude. The aftermath of the 2009 Iranian [...]

    Cakes of Europe!

    Guest Post by By Celina Bledowska Whether it was said by Marie Antoinette or not – the expression ‘let them eat cake’ has long since passed into the mists of historical debate – but thankfully modern travellers can still enjoy the delights of sampling tasty sweet examples of the baker’s skills as they wend their way [...]

  • In November  I had the pleasure of meeting a bright young pharmacy student in Tehran who told me that his country wasn’t as bad as people think. Sure, Islam had been “misused” by the government (I let him have that one) but it certainly wasn’t the dank, pitiless, theocratic wasteland that the Western media and, [...]

  • By Andrew Tipp Off the beaten track. It’s one of the most well-used travel phrases ever. And we all know what it means: Remoteness. Off the grid. On your own. Getting off the beaten track is to leave behind the familiar and embrace the new; to disconnect from what you know and immerse yourself in [...]

  • Political Iran 101

    Political Iran 101

    Although I would likely have given Best Picture to Django Unchained, I thought Argo was a pretty good movie. It gave the viewer an understated but affecting sense of the political climate that led to the formation of the current Islamic Republic of Iran, and a suspenseful secret-rescue plot to boot. And I really don’t [...]

  • Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and the capital Phnom Penh have been popular add-ons for trips from neighbouring Vietnam and Thailand for a while, but now the country is getting to grips with tourism and is increasingly proud of its unspoilt wilderness. Many tour companies are organising vacations to Cambodia from America, Europe and other Asian destinations, [...]

  • Despite being frequently referred to as “Sydney’s bogan brother”, the locals of Newcastle have always repped their hometown with a fierce amount of pride – If there is a Novacastrian in your vicinity, I can guarantee it won’t be long before they let you know where they’re from. Being situated about three hours drive north [...]

  • If you had a group of Australian’s from Sydney together and asked them about their fondest childhood memories, I would bet the farm that a good chunk of them would include something to do with summer holidays in various locations along the North Coast of New South Wales. I am definitely guilty of this myself. [...]

  • Over the past couple of weeks I’ve received about a dozen emails from various people asking the same question: “what’s going on with Vagabundo Magazine?”  Well, the simple answer is “Africa happened.” As many of you know, I’m in the process of attempting to drive a scooter down the western length of the continent from [...]

    Big Turk Dreams

    I will admit upfront that I sympathize with the efforts of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, “Father of the Turks” and founder of the modern Republic of Turkey. Because of him, Turkey is one of the only “Muslim countries” in the...
