Today’s post was provided in association with Musto, who provide sailing clothing. Having recently embarked on an epic ocean race, and being entirely underprepared in terms of clothing, this post would have been perfect for me a couple of months ago. Still – better late than never! Read on to find out how to prepare […]

Seeing elephants in the wild: Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
Nature! Thailand has no shortage of gorgeous natural areas to explore, and Khao Yai was right up there as one of our favourites. It was the only place in Thailand where we saw elephants in their natural habitat, as well as countless other species of animals, from deer to gibbons. In today’s post I’m going […]
In Photos: From the Facebook Page Edition IX
IX! Finally I get to use an X in my roundups. I know, there are probably more exciting things going on in life, but as I’ve been stuck in bed with a bad back for the last five days, an X is about as thrilling as it gets. Anyhow, by now you know the drill. […]
Our Ten Favourites in Thailand
It’s list time! We spent three months in Thailand over the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, and saw a lot of what this fantastic country has to offer. We’ve sifted through our memories of our time there, poked at our photographs and decided to come up with our ten favourites in Thailand. […]
What corn syrup has to do with a car crash
Byron Bay in Australia has this reputation for being a hip little beach town for surfers, hippies, and other alternative folk. You would think I loved it when I first got there, but I didn’t. I had embarked on a road trip with a guy I had met in a hostel in Melbourne and eventually […]
In Photos: The back streets of Brindisi
There is nothing I like better than a good wander, as anyone who has read one of my city guides will attest to. On my recent trip to the rather nice little Italian town of Brindisi I was able to sneak in some time between racing yachts and stuffing myself silly to head out into […]
Street Art in Thailand
I am a big fan of street art. It can be the size of a stamp or covering a whole building – when I see something I like, I stop and get my camera out. Street art manages to surprise me, amaze me, make me laugh, make me think – and I appreciate that. I […]
Songkhla: our favourite Thai city
Normally I’m rubbish with picking a favourite of anything. I tend to find the unique aspects of a thing, and assign it its own special award for being awesome in its own special way. Of course, this doesn’t always pan out, but as I believe in the power of living positively, I tend to get […]
In Photos: My favourite sunsets of the last year or so
In the three years that I’ve been running this blog I’ve done three posts on the theme of sunsets. The first featured largely sunsets from Australia, the second was all about the sunsets of New Zealand, and the third was a happy mix up of various locations as part of yTravelBlog’s Travel Pinspiration series. Still, […]
Racing across the Adriatic Sea
I have done a fair bit of sailing in my time, being lucky enough to attend a school with its own sailing team. This wasn’t quite as glamorous as it sounds, with many afternoons spent doing a passable impression of the Michelin man whilst shivering on half frozen lakes in southern England (we were the […]
