I’ve been on the road now for just over six months and in that time I’ve visited Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. I’ve met many wonderful and wacky characters and had numerous, memorable experiences along the way.

A selection of travel photos from South East Asia
Now, I am no photographer but I do have a habit of getting flash happy when I am on my travels. Below are a selection of what I consider to be some of my better photographs. I’ve been meaning to do a photography course for years now and it is something that I will definitely [...]
The challenges of dreams come true
I’ve been on the road for a total of nine days now. I’ve hustled and bustled in Bangkok, I’ve snoozed on an overnight train to Surat Thani and I’ve long-tail boated it to paradise in the shape of bright blue seas and white sandy beaches.

The importance of being still
I’m sat writing this post on the last day of a weeklong yoga retreat in the Sabina mountains in Italy. Normally one to choose more active holidays, such as mountain trekking or surfing, I decided when booking this trip that what I needed was relaxation and recovery rather than to challenge myself physically. I have [...]
What do you trust yourself enough to do?
As humans we put our faith in others every single day. Getting on a train, plane or bus, driving on the motorway and stepping out on to a pedestrian crossing are just a few examples of how we put our lives into the hands of others though trust. Most of us probably wouldn’t give it [...]
Goals round-up for July 2011
I’m writing this post at a departure gate in Dublin airport, waiting for my flight back home to London Gatwick. It’s a nice feeling to be sat working on my blog whilst on the go and it feels quite appropriate to do so in light of the forthcoming fear-facing challenge I reveal below. July has [...]
