Edora – A little Lord of the Ring Adventure

We didn’t go for any of the Lord of the Rings tours, instead, quite randomly on the way somewhere else decided to take our little rental car off on a little adventure in search of Edora from the Lord of the Rings, known as Mt. Somers to the locals.

End of the Road 2009 in Photos

For me the music didn’t really get going until the Sunday when Magnolia Electric Co, Neko Case and Richmond Fontaine performed. The festival however was absolutely brilliant from the moment we arrived. End of the Road has a beautifully relaxed [...]

El Misti, Arequipa – Friday Photo

Well worth the short taxi ride to a great vista of El Misti, the volcano that towers over Arequipa in Peru. Grab a couple of beers, sit on the steps and watch the sunset through the archways.

    • About Ben’s Backpacking Travel Blog

      The main aim of this travel blog is to share travel experiences and hopefully inspire others to travel. When researching my own travels I always focus on the photos and with that in mind I've tried to place an emphasis on travel photos of my favourite destinations. I've also tried to focus on those places to visit and things to do that are slightly off the beaten track of the normal backpacking trip.

      My blog covers past experiences backpacking around the world and my current travels where so far I've been lucky enough to travel in the South Pacific, Australasia, South East Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
