It’s not the destination, it’s the glory of the ride

Beginning my mini euro jaunt in Germany I stayed with a friend and her family in a place called Goldbach, for a couple of days. I met Karina in San Fransisco in 2005, way back when my burgeoning travelling career first started and the backpacking bug caught me hard. Fourteen years later and we’re still … More It’s not the destination, it’s the glory of the ride

The grim

January 24, 2019

Wow, so it’s been a while, hasn’t it.

Over the last year my creative drive has … More The grim

An Ode to my Mum

March 11, 2018

  To a woman who never flinches when I cast a doubtful stare, To a woman who always listens, in dark times she’s always there; To a woman who tries her best, to raise me well and true, Yes mum, you guessed it right, I’m talking about you.

Day Eleven in South East Asia – Long Walks, Imperial Cities, and Desperados

June 26, 2017

Hué, Vietnam: After my challenging scooter ride yesterday, my arse was feeling a little numb so my thoughts turned to exercise, and what better way to exercise in South East Asia than walking the length and breadth of a city in the middle of the day? The sweat would pour and the legs would get … More Day Eleven in South East Asia – Long Walks, Imperial Cities, and Desperados

Broome Cemetery

June 14, 2017

When I first arrived in Broome in March 2017, I was ignorantly unaware of the importance this little town played in the growth and development of modern Australia. Unique in its setting, miles from nowhere – miles from anywhere – it could be mistaken for just another coastal town in WA. But Broome is far … More Broome Cemetery
