As a creative dude who writes words and takes photos for a living, it seems natural enough to say that inspiration is my lifeblood. But actually defining inspiration is a lot harder than I would have imagined. The experience of ‘being inspired’ is such a personal, subjective thing; it’s really not that easy to pin...
‘It’s ok’ is a new series I’m starting where I discuss the more difficult aspects of life and travelling and hopefully help you work through the big, bad or scary things because we all need a little reassurance every now and then. Today: It’s ok to feel lost in life Sometimes I worry that I don’t...
Now, when I say I’m a budget backpacker, that’s a bit of a lie because what I really mean is I’m a budget backpacker but if there’s a chance to experience a little luxury on a smaller budget, I’m there quicker than Kim Kardashian at a press event for the opening of an envelope. But...
So, some time two years ago, May 28 to be precise, I wrote a post about my ‘road romances’ or ‘sexcapades’; however you want to call it and it caused quite a buzz in the blogging community because at that time, no one talked about ‘it’. Sure, we all did it and we told our...
After the enjoyable few days I’d spent on the exotic island of Zanzibar, I was ready to head further into Tanzania knowing that it would mean getting closer (in time and distance) to us doing our Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater game drives – excited much? Oooh yeah! Our ‘gateway’ to these game drives was the...

For either the seasoned connoisseur or simply someone who enjoys good food and drink, these festivals are certain to be to anyone’s taste. Calais Wine FairIn particular, Calais has...
Have you noticed that with technology our friend circles have drastically increased? And I’m not talking about Facebook friends who you never talk to (that’s a post for another day) but real friends that you can turn to without question or have you spitting out your drink with laughter? No? Then maybe you need to...
Normally I write instead of stay quiet but today I’m going to do the latter so I can let the beauty of Zanzibar speak for itself; you’re welcome The local children were pretty curious to see a bunch of white people in the guesthouse to came over to stare at us, play amongst themselves and...
I was talking to a friend the other night (and when I say friend, what I really mean is some girl I met whilst travelling that I barely ever speak to on Facebook because actually, in the real world, we have nothing in common) about general things and ‘catch ups’ when we got talking about...
In my last post, I talked about the amazing Stone Town with its endless alleys and photo opportunities but I have to admit that my real love lies in the North of the island. Everything from the beach bar, hotel room and scenery screamed ‘exotic’ and why shouldn’t it when my daily view was this?...
