I’ve collected enough photos of NYC over the last 20 years to write a dozen blog posts but my last trip there was mainly based around visiting some of the locations seen in Netflix’s Daredevil and The Punisher. Years ago, spending August in New York for me was a summer of theatre, baseball, staying out… Read More A Punisher/Daredevil tour of New York City
Last year I wrote about my 2016 trip to Atlanta where I spent the weekend (courtesy of the fantastic Atlanta Movie Tours) enjoying all things The Walking Dead, visiting locations, meeting extras, watching episodes, posing with walkers…that kind of thing. In fact, I loved it all so much that I went back. And did all the… Read More Atlanta – The Walking Dead Tours (Again)
After a few underwhelming days in Venice I flew to Dubrovnik to hopefully improve my holiday and to soak up some more Game of Thrones locations. Dubrovnik featured as the fictional capital King’s Landing from Season 2 onwards and although some key scenes had the help of some nifty CGI, the city is as beautiful… Read More Dubrovnik – A Game of Thrones trip to King’s Landing
My main reason for visiting Morocco was to take a trip into the Sahara, so Marrakech seemed an ideal starting point and an interesting city to explore.

My experience there was less than inspiring for many reasons, but in hindsight, looking through the pictures I took there, I’ve come to appreciate how good looking the… Read More Venice
Until a couple of years ago I couldn’t have placed Cartagena on a map, but then I discovered it in a video game and researched it and stared at photos of it and, like a dozen other places I’ve been drawn to, knew I had to go and see it for myself. I’d never been… Read More Cartagena
A binge-rewatch of The Walking Dead last spring confirmed how much I really loved the show, so during the summer holidays a Michigan-based friend of mine and I agreed to meet up in Atlanta to do some of the locations tours. I hadn’t been to Atlanta since 2003, when I spent 45 miserable minutes at… Read More The Walking Dead Tours
A few weeks before HBO aired Season 4 of Game of Thrones in 2014, I gave in to peer pressure and started to watch it. Mainlined 3 seasons in no time at all, fell hook, line and sinker for the damn show, and within a few weeks I’d booked a flight to Belfast to see… Read More HBO Game of Thrones Exhibition
