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 […]
Things to Do in Songkhla: Our Favourite City in Thailand
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. But it’s now been more than a decade since we spent several weeks travelling around southern Thailand, and in all that […]
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 […]
Different country, different culture: Thailand
Travelling means being aware of another countries customs. Sometimes these are made very obvious to you, like with signs telling you not to enter a building unless you are dressed a certain way, and other times you have no clue why people seem to take offense at something you did. Chances are you try to […]
The food of Brindisi: In photos
I am, as has been previously explained, not exactly an awesome food blogger. The problem is that when food arrives I am overwhelmingly tempted to eat it, rather than to photograph it. During my recent trip to the southern part of Italy, and more specifically the town of Brindisi in the Puglia region, I somehow […]
In photos: From the Facebook Page Edition VIII
And so we roll around to edition eight, which is a lovely number in roman numerals and tends to remind me of that English King who spent a lot of time going through wives. As with previous editions, what we’re doing today is sharing some of the most popular photos from the site’s Facebook Page, […]
Eating silk worms and more: Adventures around Buriram
You would think that having a temple on a volcano that predates Angkor Wat would be enough for a region, and it could hang up its hat in terms of attractions. Well, when it comes to the area around the Thai city of Buriram, way over in the east of the country near the Cambodian […]
Funky French Facts for some Friday Fun
France! It’s just over the channel from the UK, but that stretch of water seems to have created a larger cultural divide than you might imagine. Or maybe it was the years and years of wars. Having now lived here for a couple of years, I’ve observed a few things that surprised me, and learnt […]
