Create a colourful
life through travel.
Fancy going somewhere? I’m Rob. Give me a café table in a city I’ve just arrived in and I’m happy watching the place get on with its day. That’s part of why I travel. Here you’ll find my guides, stories and opinions to help you plan a trip with room for whatever makes you want to stay a little longer.
A little experience goes a long way.

Meet your host
Hello, I’m Rob.
I spent years in radio and television before my work took me to sea. These days I’m a Viking Program Director. I’m still curious about the people at the next café table, and I still think a sense of humour is one of the most useful things you can pack.
