Since the pandemic changed our world, travel has for sure become a lot more difficult. We simply don’t do as much travelling, we get less visas, we cross less borders and we spend a lot more time in our native lands. This is the time to truly rediscover our own countries, our own cities and feel at ease with ourselves. And how about romance? Well, romance won’t change much except for the fact that we will probably look for more online options until face to face meeting becomes a reality. All over the USA, many dating apps and websites are trying to lure us in. […]

Traditionalists might argue that the best way to find love and meet a potential partner is through real life and everyday street life. These could be from normal everyday situations, through work, through studies, through friends or just going out to bars and chatting to people. We all meet our partners in different ways. However these days, as travellers, nomads and tourists, finding love on the road is something that is happening much more often and is a joy. From Tinder to Online Dating Sites, there is something truly magical and mysterious about looking for love online. You can also localise it, depending on where […]

I have been to Merseyside many times, dating way back to 1996 when I watched Liverpool v. Tottenham Hotspur live at Anfield. The last 7 years or so, my youngest brother Daniel has lived in Liverpool and the Wirral and I was able to visit him about 10 times. I love the vibe of the city. As Autumn approaches in Liverpool, Tranmere, Wallasey and Birkenhead, it’s a super time for romance. Besides, with Brexit looming, get your mind off politics by indulging in some fine dating options in and around Merseyside. Here are some tips for dating in Autumn time in and around Merseyside, England. […]

As a blogger, there are many extra parts of the job to consider, away from just writing and blogging. There is the promoting of my blogs on social media, the seeking advertisers, sponsors and affiliates and then there is all the technical aspects that come with being a daily professional travel blogger. However, one more thing is missing – creativity and design. I have never been the most creative person when it comes to art and design and this aspect of my blogging has needed improvement down the years. Logos and headers need creativity. In July 2016, a new startup website called Design Bundles began […]

Crossing World Borders as a website and blog has entered into its 6 year of existance. Originally I planned to document all my border crossings on this site, under the CWB (Crossing World Borders) title. However, I already had a main travel blog before this one, I also run a website called Don’t Stop Living, you can see it on that link. Years ago, I designed a logo for Don’t Stop Living and also had one designed for me. These days though, it’s much easier thanks not only to technological advances, but to new and quirky websites and platforms that make designing graphics easier. Recently […]

We’ve all met them, those mature travellers that have so much decorum, so much experience of travelling and just are great tourists to travel with. Even on the Inca Trail, I was blessed to be joined by a Taiwanese couple in their 50s doing the hike. I was 30 at the time, I couldn’t have imagined being able to do that aged 50! But when I get to hang out with mature travellers (and yes I know I am in danger of becoming one very soon, as the years go by), I tend to get very inspired by them, and then they tell me their […]

As travellers always on the move, keeping a healthy relationship can be hard. I struggled with it myself on many occasions. Often I broke down, cried for help and looked for other ways to feel happy as the strains of travelling with your partner certainly take their toll. But what for the single tourist? Is it even harder as you are always alone, without a permanent relationship. These days though, there are certainly no shortage of options in the world of dating, or just for finding a sex partner. Here are 4 cool options for dating when you are a traveller to ensure you don’t […]

Have you ever had a fettish for the sexually explicit and taboo that your school mates and parents were ashamed of? As a long term whackpacker, open minded person and honest, life sharing guy, I am never shy to talk about all aspects of life. I certainly don’t shy away from the limelight, the cameras or the media. My own media appearances list is lengthy enough and I have never been shy to write about my sexual experiences. This is a real life blog. Through the years I had some manic adventures both beneath and away from the sheets. Let’s just say I didn’t keep […]

These days, the dating game has changed. It’s not simply a case of “find a girl, settle down” anymore. Girls and guys take their time. The world has given people way too much freedom, and in turn this has led to more failures, divorces and relationship break ups. It’s very much a “try before you buy” society we live in today and as a result you need to stay safe while dating and looking for love. From the easy to use online dating apps to Facebook groups to mistress dating, there are countless ways to hook up with a new love in 2019. Here are […]
