CHINA | Monday, 9 Oct 2017 | Views [1122]

The truth  is, life is short,  none of us know what might happen tomorrow, and tomorr ow is never promised . I guess analysis of reality is left to the individual. Interpretation is personal. Everyone’s  goals, ambitions ... Read more >

Ma'asallama Magic Kingdom, thanks for the memories

SAUDI ARABIA | Sunday, 18 Jun 2017 | Views [2039]

A place you can call home for now, for today, for yesterday, maybe even for tomorrow. A place that totally consumes your soul, at least for this week. A fear that intermittently exists, a curiosity that would kill the cat, a feeling of the strangest ... Read more >

Beirut's beautiful heart

LEBANON | Sunday, 19 Mar 2017 | Views [1482]

Sitting eating Manaeesh, on the terrace of a bullet hole littered building in Geitawi, Beirut, it’s hard to imagine the war of only two decades ago and the even more recent unease in the city. Today this terrace is blooming with flowers, facing ... Read more >

Cherry Blossom Daze - Springtime in Japan

JAPAN | Saturday, 2 Jul 2016 | Views [696]

I had spent many days pondering what it might be like. Crazy, funky, cool? Weird...that's probably the best word I can use to describe Japan.  An eclectic contrast between modern concepts and traditional customs. People say you have to ... Read more >

Falling for Vietnam

VIETNAM | Monday, 22 Feb 2016 | Views [2019]

This wasn't my first visit to Vietnam. I always knew that I would return to this curious land. This time my first breath was taken from Ho Chi Minh City, the countries fast paced, dusty, concrete jungle. From the dizzying capital escaping to delightful ... Read more >

Namaste Nepal- “I honour the place in you of which is love”.

NEPAL | Monday, 7 Dec 2015 | Views [1232]

INDIA | Wednesday, 2 Dec 2015 | Views [945]

The plan started a few years ago. Myself and my equally as crazy friend decided to drive a rickety old rickshaw about 3500kms through India. We would start our journey in Fort Cochin, Kochi and finish in Jaisalmer, Rahjastan. The prospect, ... Read more >
