I’ve just returned from a camping trip down to Devon, a coastal resort in the south of England. Catching up for the weekend with friends i don’t see often enough was great fun even though there was zero waves, not that i can actually surf. I decided to take down my camera with a 30 [...]

It feels like i’ve been away from my computer for an eternity as this summers path dragged me into a number of unprepared and unplanned directions. For the last two years i’ve made it down to the southern hemisphere at this time of year but due to costs involved, this year my feet have stayed [...]

This is the final instalment into my ten years of travel. Europe is one of those places that i often took for granted when i was younger as its so close to the UK. My desire was always to travel further a field into parts of Asia and America. Now though i love it. Its [...]

As i mentioned yesterday, i used to live in Japan. I was there for just under 2 years and loved pretty much all of it. I was living in Hokkaido in the north island and i snowboarded there for the first time which is not a bad place to learn to snowboard. Some of my [...]

I started doing the maths here……. 1205 X 10 [...]

I’m approaching my last couple of days in Guatemala before i head back home this week. I’ve just got back from Lake Atitlan which turned out to be an awesome weekend break. I headed over by myself on Friday before meeting up with Jo, a volunteer from the school, on Saturday morning. We found the [...]

Yesterday was an action packed day in and around the school and in the evening i was lucky enough to be invited to a part of the town where a large majority of the children who attend the school live. Vista Hermosa is an area which tourists seldom see. Tucked away on the hillside is [...]
