This is my entryway to Mount Kinabalu; Malaysia's highest mountain (4095.2m), and I've set my heart on struggling up it. It doesn't take long to discover that the huts half-way up the mountain are booked out. They're released on a 6 monthly basis and ... Read more >

Kuching is the capital of the east Malaysian state of Sarawak, i.e. part of Malaysian Borneo. I'd never heard of the place until a few weeks ago, but judging by the number of tourists, i was in the minority. After being delayed in KL, I eventually ... Read more >

OK, how's this for a moan. I'm coming down with a cold, i woke up this morning with such a bad back that i could hardly move, (bad mattress, wrongly performed stretching, too long carrying the backpack, sitting all day on buses, being jolted by the ... Read more >

It's with a particularly slow and cold bus that i crawl my way to Taman Negara National Park. It's a full day of travelling and I'm glad of the final leg which is by boat - I'm so chilled that i start falling asleep. This would be nice except my dropping ... Read more >

I've always wanted to say: "I want the next flight out of here". I got my chance when upon arriving at Penang airport i find my flight is cancelled. I ask the guy at the counter why, and his reply (after 5 minutes deliberation) is that ... Read more >

I fly into Penang because I want to avoid all the insurgents and trouble in the south of Thailand. If the Bangkok Post is to believed, the pulling-up of train lines is now a regular occurrence. It's not only the west that has this problem. The island ... Read more >

It's fair to say I don't want to leave this country. I've spent more time in Thailand (around10 weeks) than any other on my journey so far, and there's still a lot of it I haven't seen and would like to visit. How do you summarise a country that's ... Read more >

Over 4 days on a 20m plus sailing boat, diving 3 or 4 times a day, to sites where maybe nobody else has dived ... I've just been down to 45m to dive a cargo wreck of a boat nicknamed the 'dog food' wreck. So called because it was sank as part of an ... Read more >

I'm 20m under the sea, there are five, 2m long, grey reef sharks swimming within a few meters of me, and my instructor is trying to encourage them to come closer by making noises with a plastic bottle. Noooooooo! doesn't she realise sharks scare ... Read more >

All to pick up a parcel, one I've spent over 4 months waiting for. It turns out it's already on its way back to England - thank you parcelforce. Life is spent sorting out where to go next, watching films and experiencing the world of Kao San Road. ... Read more >

I'm a criminal...it's a fact. The padlock is proof. I can't even claim it was because i was drunk...although I'd had a pint or 3 (yes real pints!). I'd spent the evening in an Irish bar with 2 young German guys I'd met while diving and an English ... Read more >

2 weeks in Phuket - a lot can happen in 2 weeks. You could get rained on everyday, learn to sail, nearly crash a motorbike, run over a monitor lizard, get passage to Singapore by crewing on a sailboat, or have a pass made at you by a 59 year old, rich ... Read more >

It's 8am, I've been awake 24 hours and drinking for 15 hours. I'm looking at a priceless view from a $200 a night room and a Thai girl who sells her time and body for money is pouring her heart out to me... ... Read more >

The capital of Laos and a place to bore me with a capital B. The most 'exciting' part of my travels was getting to Vientiane. On the way to the airport there had been a bad motorbike crash. A young, very bloody guy, was being propped up on the side ... Read more >
