Chasing the sun…
Written by Michael de Alwis There are some people who just can’t do winter. They can’t handle it, or they’re scared of rain, maybe they don’t like the winter fashion, or perhaps they just really like summer. More often than not, it’s the latter.

Rediscovering Ireland
The road trip showdown Ireland has been on my ‘wish-list’ for years and last spring I finally did it. A road trip experience I definitely want to repeat, seeing the best of Ireland. I know how tricky it was for me to choose where to stop, what cities to see and the best places to...
What inspires me…
As a creative dude who writes words and takes photos for a living, it seems natural enough to say that inspiration is my lifeblood.

It’s the simple things in life that are simply the best: your nearest and dearest, a couple of tents, an open fire and memories to last a lifetime.

Let’s go get a campervan!
For anyone that’s read how booking my Africa trip went, you’ll know that actually, I knew very little about the African continent, didn’t know what overlanding was and had never been camping so it was a pretty big deep end to throw myself into but I loved it. The camping was definitely an experience but...

Seeing the world is a must for everyone, however for students on an extremely tight budget; holidays are often out on hold for several years. This shouldn’t have to be the case though.
