For the record, since first going live back in March 2013, there has been about 24,000 visits - 4% from AFRICA, 49% from the AMERICAS, 9% from ASIA, 16% from EUROPE, 22% from OCEANIA... this new site going live in February 2018.

“… observational and anecdotal, his vignettes illuminated by the assorted zany characters he meets. Anyone with an open mind and a sense of humour, will find resonance in Cochrane’s adventures.”

– Susan Kurosawa, travel editor, The Australian
