I loved travelling around Colombia. Along with Brazil, the country loves to party. They have a great culture, and the people are incredibly friendly. They have the Caribbean Coast, incredible coffee and some of the freshest fruit you will ever taste. What’s not to love? Exploring Medellin was one of the highlights of my trip, not […]
Exactly one year ago, on 13th March 2013, I was walking around on one of the few man-made objects visible from space: the Great Wall of China. It seems fitting, that, one year on, I finally share my great experience and pics with you. China was my last stop before heading back to the UK, […]
I haven’t penned a foodie blog post for a while, so when I was given an early birthday surprise to visit the Hawker House Street Feast night market, it made sense to share some of the highlights of the evening. Especially as the Street Feast provided some of the best food I’ve ever tasted… Hawker […]
Picture the scene. I’m in the Colombian jungle, in the Tayrona National Park, the weather is hot and sticky, and the clouds have rolled in. The group I am travelling with are about to set off on a one hour hike to get to our camp, and spend the night sleeping in hammocks. Just as […]
There’s a certain je ne sais quoi when it comes to skiing in Austria. Compared to the intensive French and Swiss resorts, Austria is just very….laid back, local…and authentic. Well, that’s what I was thinking when a baby calf was licking my hand, as we walked past a farm on the way back from the […]
I’ve visited Munich several times over the last few years, mainly for work. I saw a lot of the airport, hotels, a few bars, and our old Munich office. So when I saw BA Reward Flights to Munich over New Year, I decided it was time to see the city on my own time. Munich […]
I’ve been visiting Cornwall every year since I was nine years old. Perranporth (around 7 miles South of Newquay) is my place of choice. It is a brilliant location, with over three miles of open sandy beach, and still somewhere I visit with other friends and families from around the UK every summer. Like most […]
Altitude sickness is something a lot of travellers worry about before setting off on their round the world adventures. Not me. I never get ill. I’ve had one sick day in my working life (9 years) and wouldn’t have expected anything less on my travels around South America. Val Thorens is the highest ski resort […]
Every year since we finished University, myself and a group of friends would take it in turns to cook Christmas dinner. At first it started off as a simple three course meal, but over time the annual lads Christmas dinner has become increasingly competitive. It’s a once a year, annual Come Dine With Me, and […]
Every now and again it’s nice to take a break from the norm and explore new tastes. This is especially applicable to me and food. Last week I discovered the Real Food Market located at London’s South Bank Centre Square, and ventured there last Saturday. UPDATE – the Real Food market has now moved to […]
