Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: After being in transit for what felt like an age, three flights and 18 hours later I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City; exhausted, in need of more than two hours interrupted plane sleep, and dying for a hot shower and a massage. Prior to making a decision on how … More Day One In South East Asia
So as I sit here, in the same airport I sat in almost three years ago, drinking the same wine, contemplating life, waiting for a plane to take me to my next destination, I can’t help but feel like I’ve come full circle. Not full circle in the sense that the journey has ended and … More Australia, You’ve Been Everything.
And as I prepare to leave a country I love, direction once again confounds me. I’ve taken more paths and chosen more roads yet the world is still spinning around me. Conflicting emotions about how to ‘travel’ are repeatedly rearing their heads; sometimes I feel the coil of life unravel, my heart aching beneath my … More The World Will Still Spin At My Feet
It’s been a month since I last wrote or published a blog post. Wow. For a budding writer with a burgeoning passion and flair for wordscraftmanship, with a wanton desire to become a published author or reporter, and a penchant for spinning a yarn, whether that be a yarn of interesting prose or an essay … More A change is as good as a rest?
Will things be any better the second time around? Is it possible for a second experience to live up to the high expectations you set, to surpass those of the first? Was it, after all, only ever supposed to be experienced once? These are the questions I find myself trying to answer while six months … More Is The Grass Really Greener?
In an effort to kickstart my blog after a lengthy hiatus, I’ve settled on the subject of road trips, and one epic drive in particular: from Perth to Exmouth and back in six little days. Following our departure from Marvel Loch, with a triste and heavy-hearted goodbye, Trine and I arrived in Perth and went … More From Perth to Exmouth; toilet breaks not included
So today I had to get up early. And by early I don’t mean like 5:30am, haha, oh no, I of course mean 7:30am (which is early enough). The reason, you may ask, as to why I needed to rise at such an ungodly hour when I only started work at 5pm? Well well well, … More Day Four in my new favourite place – some light reflection in Mining Land…
Ok, so it’s far from being the actual “outback”, and it’s about as far from the Red Centre as Manchester is from Warsaw (don’t quote me on that by the way, I ain’t GoogleMaps), but it’s the “outback” to me…or it may as well be. Marvel Loch is a small mining town situated 33km south … More Day One 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.
In May 2013 I feared for my life. In May 2013, I thought I would never see the light of day again. It’s now July 2016, and a little over three years ago I went to China. I was young(ish) and slightly naive but very much over-confident in my convictions, of which I was also … More Putting the past to rest
