It’s competition time! You’ve heard about the ‘unboxing’ trend, right? Where people get a product, film themselves unwrapping it and describing what they’re seeing? Well, Hotels.com have come up with a new concept which they are calling ‘Unrooming’. It’s like unboxing, but for hotel rooms. GET UNROOMING Unrooming looks to re-design hotel reviews using video. […]
I’ll keep this post pretty short and sweet. Ever since I started creating travel videos for YouTube, I came across an issue. A time consuming issue. Quite often the background music that accompanies the travel vlog makes the video….but finding the right track can be a tedious process. For those travel vloggers who want to […]
Just when I thought Papua New Guinea was completely cut off from civilisation, I decided to travel even further away from the road less travelled, and learn more about local village life in Tufi. One of the most anticipated parts of my trip was staying away from the comfort of an air conditioned hotel, and […]
I love a good burger. Every year, when August 27th arrives I know it’s time to get my teeth into one of the tastiest, dirtiest, melt-in-the-mouth burgers in London. Since 2013, my girlfriend and I mark out National Burger Day in the calendar, and I choose a place in London that is renown for offering […]
I started hiking at 2 years of age. Through grazed knees and nettle stings I came to love the outdoors. The fresh air, the views, the feeling of accomplishment once a mountain has been bagged. Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon have all been ticked off my list, as has one of the toughest endurance […]
In 2012 a friend of mine invited me on his stag do near Santander, Spain. It was a surfing stag do. Some of you may think “that’s weird“, but it was right up my street. As well as surfing the Spanish waves, I also got a taste of some of the amazing food that is […]
You’ve all heard of the term ‘yuccie‘, right? No? Well think of it as a more creative, entrepreneurial hipster. A yuccie, as described perfectly by Skyscanner, is a young, urban creative. Yuccies are a new breed of young people that like a flat white, a craft beer, and have a start up spirit. In order […]
The second leg of my Papua New Guinea tour saw me visit the highlands, and learn more about Huli people and their culture. Much like Mount Hagen, Hela Province and its capital Tari lie in the highland region of Papua New Guinea. Apart from a relatively new oil pipeline that runs from the mountain top […]
Papua New Guinea is often described as the land of the unexpected, and this is no more apparent than in the Western Highlands city of Mount Hagen. It is amazing to think that much of the land and tribes in the Western Highlands was only first discovered by gold prospectors from Australia in the 1930’s. […]
The South Pacific Sea saw some epic battles between Japan and America during World War II (WW2). I’ve always been interested in World War II history, but being based in the UK always meant that I seemed to learn more about the war that took place on our shores, rather than the battles that happened […]
