Gear reviews
Welcome to the reviews page
From travel gear, novels, travel blogs, guidebooks, podcasts to films and even YouTube channels that are informative, you will find it all here. The good, the bad and the ugly.
I use a star rating for all of my reviews, which will give you an instant benchmark. If you have a product, book, podcast, film or even a YouTube Channel that you would like me to review then please head on over to the “Get In Touch” page.
