Somewhere between Seminyak and Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; I arrived in Bali late last night, the airport taxi queue was just as I remembered – long, busy, chaotic. The number of drivers waiting for pick-ups was absurd, and the queues for the cash machines even worse. I didn’t care so much though, in fact, I didn’t … More Day 50 in South East Asia – Bali, I’m Back!
Arriving in Bali early Wednesday evening after a day of sitting around airports trying to delay the onset of boredom, trying not to spend all my money on wine and chocolate and trying not to smell like a poof’s palace (no offence, Graeme Brown) by dousing myself in all the perfume samples from duty free, … More Reflecting on Cambodia
Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Today was my final full day in Cambodia; my last in Mainland South East Asia, and the end of an incredible seven weeks travelling – visiting places I never thought I’d get the chance to go to; seeing things I felt lucky to have seen; experiencing things not many people get to … More Day 48 – Leaving Happyland and Leaving Cambodia – Taking Only Memories.
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.
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
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…
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
You know when the weather during the Great British Summertime decides to do what it usually does and blow an almighty gale and insist on pissing down with incessant rain to the point where you fear your chimney pots might blow off and your fence panels will end up in next doors garden? Yeah well … More Day Two in Marvel Loch: a daytrip to The Big Smoke and a hell of a lot of rain
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
When visiting Madrid, any stay wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Segovia. A short drive from the Spanish capital through the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range, you can inhale the breathtaking views of the snow-capped Penalara, the highest peak in this subsection of Spain’s larger Sistema Central range while enjoying the view of the … More To indulge in Spain is to visit Segovia
