Travel-writer. Adventure seeker. Risk Taker. Story teller. Info sharer.
Far too often we frame our actions and our thoughts.
That’s what’s led me to creating this page – solely dedicated to the raw diary entries I’ve written when I’ve traveled.
Enjoy!
I don’t know about you…but for me, food is absolutely and unequivocally one of the most important things in the world. I know many people see food purely as a source of fuel…but for me, food is so much more. (and no I can’t date let alone be friends with those sorts of people - [...]

Right now I’m telling myself – “you’ve only got one more week left. It’s not long”. I’m getting to the point now where I am struggling a little bit with the dynamics of this work ~ mainly the prejudicial, ‘old man’ mentality. It’s hard for me to describe, but I think you will understand when [...]
The past 3 weeks have literally been so crazy, dramatic, unexpected and difficult. Let's just say challenging.
