Chris Tripodi Chris travels because it is the most interesting thing he can think of doing between meals. Anyone can buy a plane ticket, but helping a country come alive through its people, sights, culture, cuisine and customs is what Adventures Abroad is all about. Chris enjoys the inevitable challenges, the unforgettable moments, the warm people, the stories shared, the memories made, and every single morsel of each tour. Read More

Jonathan Hodgson Jonathan has lived much of his life dedicated to the idea that he would rather have a wealth of experiences than a wealth of riches. Having taken up a nomadic lifestyle shortly after finishing his undergraduate degree, he has been on the move on and off over the last 25+ years. The wanderlust has taken him to basing himself in places such as Scotland, Australia and Uzbekistan, and to visiting many more locations around our planet. Now (sort of) settled in Vancouver with his wonderful (and patient) family, he still loves the idea of having the world as his office and always enjoys trying to capture the essence of the locations he travels and tours in with his photography.

TOURS LED:

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Where to begin? Each place has something that makes it a special destination. A few that spring to mind: Kaieteur Falls in Guyana; the snow-covered mountains of Ladakh, India; sipping tea in a chaikhana of the old town of Bukhara, Uzbekistan; and watching the changing colours of Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset.

Victor Romagnoli I love the excitement of getting up each morning on a tour and not knowing exactly how a day will unfold.

EDUCATION:
HBA English BA History

LANGUAGE:
Being able to speak several languages has made travelling an enriching experience; the conversations one can so easily slip into with locals - who come from all walks of life - adds greatly to my feel for a place.

TOURS LED:
Over a span of almost 30 years, I have lead tours virtually all over the globe.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.

Frequently Asked Questions

ASK A QUESTION

01. Do you need a visa to travel to Algeria?

All foreign nationals except those from Morocco, Tunisia and Malaysia require a visa when visiting Algeria.

02. Is Algeria safe?

Algeria is now attracting adventurous travellers after years of civil war. In recent years, there have been significant improvements in safety, but there is still a high terrorist risk. The nation-wide demonstrations and protests that began in February 2019 are also continuing. Be sure to check with your own government for the latest travel recommendations.

03. When is the best time to visit Algeria

Algeria is characterized by a Mediterranean climate in the north, while the south has a desert climate, which means warm dry summers and mild rainy winters. Overall, the best time to visit Algeria is spring (Nov-Apr) when the weather is pleasantly warm and rainfall is minimal. The north of the country also blooms into life during spring, and the dry days are ideal for exploring Algeria’s numerous Roman ruins. In summer (Jun-Sep), temperatures are still pleasant on the north coast (including Algiers) but the southern desert regions become unbearably hot. The best time to visit the Sahara is from Nov-Apr when conditions are less fierce, but bear in mind that Saharan evenings can be quite chilly.
