Instagram is brilliant. Unlike other social networks, there’s none of that need to actually pay attention to what people are saying, or doing, or listening to. Instead, you can just gawp at the snapshots of their lives (or, their cups of coffee), and be transported to a world of wonder. I love the way I […]

Hammocks! And some thoughts on Novica
When Novica contacted me recently asking if I was interested in reviewing their online shop for artisan products from around the world, they could have made their lives easier by pointing out that they have hammocks for sale and I was welcome to test out the service by ordering those. Instead, we went back and […]
The Belly of the Dragon
It seems that in this world of ours there are quite a lot of people with irrational fears. In fact, every now and again I stumble over an article that lists the latest fears that have been given names, and wonder what it means exactly for your life when you are afraid of… garlic. To […]
Islands and boats: Exploring Thailand’s Trang coastline
The Trang region of Thailand is pretty epic. Tucked away at the southern end of the Andaman coast, it is every bit as beautiful as its northern counterpart, whilst remaining much quieter and less developed. I’ve already waxed lyrical about the gorgeous interior region, stuffed full of waterfalls, cultural attractions, dragon caves and endlessly tasty […]
Things to Do in Kanchanaburi: A First-Timer’s Guide to the River Kwai and Beyond
I planned on spending two days in Kanchanaburi. I stayed eight, and I still left with a list of things I hadn’t got to. On that trip I walked across the bridge over the River Kwai early, before the tour buses rolled in, sat almost alone among the headstones at Chungkai War Cemetery, swam under […]
Best Things To Do In Stockholm
Today I’m delighted to be hosting a post by Sofia von Porat of travel blog AsWeTravel. The post is particularly timely given our upcoming European focused adventure, where we’re going to be spending a few days in Stockholm. Now, thanks to this post, we’ve got more of an idea of how to fill our time! […]
Travel Pinspiration: Western Australia
It’s been a while since I’ve taken part in a travel Pinspiration. I’m going to blame spending three months of travelling around Thailand, and hope you forgive me. This weeks theme though was a real doozy, and to top it off, the bloggers behind this whole idea, Caz and Craig, used one of my shots […]
Laytrang Resort – a Thai diet on the Andaman Coast
There’s one serious problem in Thailand: the food is just too good. Okay, so maybe that’s not a problem for people who don’t enjoy eating very much (where are you folks? Haven’t met any of you yet!), but Loz and I certainly don’t belong to that group. And Thailand is mean, my friends: tasty stuff […]
Europe: the Next Adventure
Europe in late winter is not a great place to get back to after three months of sun in Thailand, although I suspect your pity levels are not that high. It’s a bit early for spring, and too late for all the winter festivities that usually make the season vaguely bearable. Instead, it’s the final […]
Spending my birthday with James Bond. Nearly.
Slightly unexpectedly, I find myself sitting on a boat in Thailand as the deck erupts with a motley crew of young Australian girls, giving it their all to the pumping beats of Gangnam Style. This is followed by a step perfect rendition of The Macarena. A tremendous amount of fun is being had by all, […]
