In coming to Western Australia during the height of winter, I thought I’d made the ultimate choice; I thought I would’ve hit the jackpot in regards to the weather, as everyone knows Perth and a lot of WA are renowned for being hot all the time, right? Erm…WRONG! To say I have been unpleasantly surprised … More It’s Cold: Day Three in Marvel Loch
After what can only be described as a fantastically reaffirming time in Hong Kong where I managed to take-in, see, and splendour at all the sights and sounds I regretted to visit on my last trip there, I made my way to Perth, with a stoic optimism and a positive attitude directed at whatever lay … More What do you do when things don’t work out? Head to the Outback of course.

As a kind of mini-celebration I thought I’d post something a little different, however, writers-block has me stuck in the mud at the moment, struggling to form … More Run Towards Yourself

My first blog of 2015, my first after a two week hiatus and it should be filled with tales of fun and laughter, it should be bursting with forward thinking ideas and be packed with positive possibilities.
