Many visits to hidden ex-Soviet regions most tourists never reach
A crazy No-Itinerary Tour where the locals decided what happened next
A Red Horse beer fuelled karaoke marathon in the Philippines
A Greek island hopping wine adventure with a well travelled boat and a very reliable corkscrew
Many long lunches that accidentally turned into long dinners
Wine Tasting Surfing in Portugal. Sadly the waves won
A worrying number of "just one more" moments
