When we announced we were going to travel around the world for 12 months with our two sons aged 5 and 9, most people first asked us if we won the lotto and then the next question was “What about school?”  To be honest this was the least of my concerns given the list of things to do to leave Australia for 12 months was very long.  Most people made comments about what a...

This is a diagram of the safest parts of the Cu Chi Tunnels.

This is a marker that the Viet Cong...

I’ve seen a lot of jobs this month that I wouldn’t want to do.  I want to go university or I might end up being a:

• Toilet attendant (collect money so people can go to the toilet then clean the toilets);
