Adventures with Miss Anikka Double-K would continue today. This morning I woke up a little bit emotional but she and I decided it's best to finish our visit on a high note, as she was excited for breakfast and a hike. It is been an absolutely wonderful ... Read more >

10 years ago, I met the lady who would change my life. Little did I realise that, on that train ride, I would meet someone who would remain so dear to me. Anikka is my bestie, the lady I love most, and my favourite lady in the universe. Speaking of which, ... Read more >

Chiang Mai is truly one of my happy places; it's easily up there with Norfolk Island and Queenstown among places where I love and feel so happy and comfortable. After a tough slog in Southern Africa or gallivanting the Middle East, Chiang Mai, with its ... Read more >

If something scary is gonna happen, it's bound to happen on Halloween, eh? What happened this evening had nothing to do with ghosts, goblins, or vampires, and I didn't dress up. It's rare that I have truly scary moments whilst travelling; being robbed ... Read more >

Jordan has Petra, Croatia has Dubrovnik, and Japan has Kyoto. In its fledging tourism industry, Saudi Arabia has Al-Ula (sometimes spelt AlUla, which is the spelling I prefer because that makes it a perfect palindrome), which is the gateway to Mada'in ... Read more >

Riyadh may be the only city in the world where I can't simply rely on a combination of public transport, a bicycle, and my own two feet. The capital of the Kingdom (KSA) sprawls for many kilometres across the desert and is a car-oriented city. This morning ... Read more >

Numerous travellers before me have described Kuwait as being about the most boring place they've ever travelled to. Would it be? I just had to find out for myself. Only yesterday did my planned CouchSurfing host, Mohammed, cancel on me due to a family ... Read more >

This may sound like I'm insane, but I'm in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has been going on for more than two years but I've been here two days and you'd never believe that there was a war at all as I stroll around Lviv. Getting through the border was a ... Read more >

As the ferry sailed in toward Mariehamn yesterday I passed all these tiny islands called skerries; some of them so small you can't even build a house yet some have wind turbines.
