I am sad to say life has slowed down again. In some ways I am happy I can have a space all to myself, I can get creative with my work and spend time on my studies. I still have a ways to go to find the right kinda people I do things with regularly ... Read more >

"Welcome to Dalian, it’s quite nice here... you might even grow to
like it."
Acquainting myself with this small city of only 6 million in

Waiting in transit is always interesting. Especially when
you get emails from people who have been in your life for only a short time.
Its not so much regret and sadness, more the warm feeling of luckiness, at the

The
days are short, waking up in the afternoon. Living here has been dream like, as

That first full day of walking the streets of Rome started
off pretty badly. The strap of my bag broke. Then at first sight of the

I arrived only hours ago in Rome after a great drive from the lovely Positano.
The last few days have been the dream of all backpackers. Arrive in a small but beautiful town, snug against spectacular cliffs bordered by small beaches, where you find ... Read more >

Friday night and eyelids are drooping. Am in Sorrento, last
night here with pretty much no motivation to join the herds of tourists who

Flight number two of the long journey to London was equally
uncomfortable. I did have three seats again which was lucky, but the loud air-con
teamed with terrible Thai food meant very little rest. On arrival I was so
happy to see Jay, waiting for me ... Read more >

Ignoring the build up; that uncontrollable glee, to get back
