Bikes, and Bros (Greece)
Greece – Zakynthos ~2011 It’s somewhat of a rite of passage for young adults in England to go on a “Lad’s/Lasses’ Holiday” at some point…at least where I come from anyway. Now these holidays are unlike any holiday you will likely ever experience, for a few reasons…but are still pretty simple to sum up – so how about…

Youth vs. 20 Something (Holidays)
Is it better to look at ancient podiums – or dance on sticky ones in nightclubs? WAIT. Hold that thought…as I suppose you could do both…although just the one time – after all UNESCO people are such sticklers when it comes to boogeying on their priceless ruins. But for the sake of this post how about we…

Silly Sausage
South Korea – Jeju Island ~ 2013 I am pale. Very, very pale. Like Nosferatu pale. Really I shouldn’t ever see sunlight – that would probably work out best for me. But the heart wants what it wants unfortunately, which is to go outside and not live in a cave all of my life. So…

Unfortunately there was to be one final hiccup – and I am still scratching my head wondering how it happened (while eating some birthday toffee,…

One good thing about where I’m from…(and there…

Waffling On (Belgium)
Belgium ~ Bruge – 2004 I re-watched the fantastic film In Bruges recently, and it reminded me of my trip there over ten years ago! Back then I had no idea about what to expect from this idyllic little spot…I remember asking my Mother, and her telling me something about riding a canal boat. Didn’t exactly…

Dumbo Rides an Elephant
I didn’t really have a lot planned when I went to Nepal…”I wanna’ ride an elephant!” was basically all I had on my mind; aside from that I was very open! What did I end up doing before I got to that? Well national parks, jungle treks, and canoe rides to name just a few!…
