“Where to go when you can’t go anywhere”

Join me on a trip round the world with my new blog inspired by @lonelyplanet’s Travel Book. Each week I sample a new country’s food, music, films & drink without leaving home!

Our journey starts in #Afghanistan:

As my 50th birthday & 100th #armchairtravel collide, I arrive in #Kazakhstan, and begin to hope against hope that I will now be considered an influencer worthy of a free trip to walk the bridge where Europe and Asia meet...

Bored of reading @x's world-destroying #FakeNews? Take a break and read my just published #ArmchairTravel to #Jordan: A nomadic paradise increasingly short of #nomads https://t.co/2yCv1OHl4J

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

Hey #fascists of #X! Why not put down the hatred and pick up a hobby! For me it's learning about other cultures, and this week my #armchairtravels focus on #Japan! #Nontoxic #JoyInAllThings https://t.co/GPioj8MSLu

We believe in an environmentally, economically and socially just world where people influence, improve and help implement decisions that affect them, their forests and the climate. As @X is increasingly reducing space for such issues, we are no longer active on this platform.

Would love to know what #jamaican #music, I'm missing! https://t.co/EJAzpbIdJD

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

#ArmchairTravels arrive in #Jamaica, land of music, rum, #Ital food and a world of literature. Was a joy to experience just a teaspoon of what it has to offer... https://t.co/Kmwyxx7DkW

[World Resources Institute Europe @wrieurope]

Europe lost 1.3M hectares of tree cover in 2023 due to timber harvesting, wildfires, and bioenergy demand. This threatens biodiversity and carbon storage. Stronger forest protections, like the proposed Nature Restoration Law, are urgently needed https://t.co/V78hAJk65G

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

#ArmchairTravels in #Italy, a country with more to offer than is fair. They know how to tickle every sense and some I didn't know existed! There is much I misssed but I am but one man and there is only so much pleasure you can have in one life!

#Armchairtravel to #Israel was a very different experience to the other countries visited so far. I tried to tread carefully and to learn, not judge... the conclusion was kindly contributed by a wise friend: "There is no path to peace. The path is peace"

#Spotify #Ireland #Playlist here - including @seamusfog, @forthoseIlove, @DeniseChaila and many more! Still looking for recommendations... https://t.co/mwwySEclA7

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

I presume you are still on #X as you have a bet on who will win the #culturewar, but maybe instead you could waste 4 minutes reading my #ArmchairTravels searching out the music, drinks, books, films and vegetarian food of #Ireland: https://t.co/uugjGkZCcC

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

@biofuelwatch @ZEROasts .@Edgbaston please watch this new vido showing just how far @DraxGroup's destruction goes. It is long past time to end your sponsorship deal with this forest destroyer.

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

And the newest #Iraq #Spotify playlist! https://t.co/87Y6RBKAnI

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

#ArmchairTravel reaches #Iraq! I spent the week slowly grasping the enormity of the role the UK has had in the whole of Iraq's history as well as many cultural delights that have up until now escaped me: https://t.co/87Y6RBKAnI

[Armchair Traveller @retchid]

@Edgbaston please read and reconsider allowing @DraxGroup their advertising space. They are among the world's biggest forest destroyers.

[DeSmog @DeSmog]

The wood pellet giant @DraxGroup is targeting California forests.

Plans for two industrial pellet plants would increase carbon emissions and hurt the health of rural communities, campaigners warn.

#ArmchairTravels reach #Indonesia, land of #tempeh and #kartini. The music was wonderful, the food incredible, but the book left Indonesia and never returned! https://t.co/b6tjtfIFha
