Phil Thomas - Someone Else's Country

Now this is bucket list territory - one of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet, designed to make you feel thoroughly insignificant!

Booking your dream RTW trip really has two parts - firstly, all the logistical stuff (where to go, where to stay, sorting visas etc…) and then the practical stuff you need to make life on the road easier!

My favourite city on Earth with history everywhere you look and a drinking scene unlike anywhere else in Europe. With a bit of planning, it may well become yours too.

My home country, the city I've worked in for 12 years, there's far too much to fit into a single list but here are my starters to make it an epic trip to London!

Berlin has over 2,000 different watering holes of all shapes, sizes and themes. As a long time resident of the city, here are my recommendations to maximise your time and experience in one of the greatest drinking cities on Earth.

There's a nasty habit in Western (and even more so American!) gay culture of pretending the rest of the queer world stops at our borders. Open any of these books and the inverse is true.

I'm both an obsessive reader and an obsessive traveller - so this brings it all together!
