Anikka Evolution

AUSTRALIA | Friday, 6 Dec 2024 | Views [48]

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 >

Figuring Out Riyadh

SAUDI ARABIA | Tuesday, 15 Oct 2024 | Views [29]

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 >


The Kingdom

SAUDI ARABIA | Monday, 14 Oct 2024 | Views [44]

My trip to Iran, which I'd been looking forward to for most of the year, was cancelled only the night before leaving! I even checked in online for my flight only to receive a message telling me that my flight to Tehran with Kuwait Airways had been cancelled.... Read more >

Q8 Style

KUWAIT | Thursday, 10 Oct 2024 | Views [76]

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 >

War! What War?

UKRAINE | Tuesday, 23 Jul 2024 | Views [177]

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 >

My whirlwind journey through the Baltic States continues. Estonia is in the books, and I'm now in Riga. Last night I arrived from Tallinn after a relatively easy hitchhiking journey (which included being picked up by two gorgeous blonde ladies), and ... Read more >

Nordkapp

NORWAY | Saturday, 29 Jun 2024 | Views [43]

For the longest time, or I should almost say that since the beginning of my travels, I've had a disdain for tourist traps. Some places I've ended up at are popular for a reason, but others are popular simply because. I set out from Mehamn yesterday; ... Read more >


True North

NORWAY | Thursday, 27 Jun 2024 | Views [45]

This European journey hasn't gone the way I originally planned it. Nothing bad has happened but the rest of Scandinavia wasn't originally on my radar. My "internal compass" as I call it guided me to go north, and as far north as I could possibly go. ... Read more >

Norwegian Cuisine in the Midnight Sun

NORWAY | Saturday, 22 Jun 2024 | Views [111]

Blue sky awaited me this morning after a bad dream about a friend. After so many days of rain and dark clouds, the sun was shining and it was warm out. Monica made Norwegian waffles this morning. Unlike their Belgian counterparts, they have a soft texture ... Read more >

Art Nouveau, Ålesund

NORWAY | Monday, 17 Jun 2024 | Views [48]

A land of art nouveau! In the first ever guidebook I glanced at about Norway, I noticed a city perched on a peninsula surrounded by blue sky and about the most spectular setting ever. Ålesund is where I had to be. I would often gaze at that ... Read more >

My Year 4 (4th grade) teacher started drawing some rings on the chalkboard and then asked us to guess what she was referring to. When she got to the second ring, I raised my hand and said "the Olympics." The 1994 Winter Olympics are the first Olympics ... Read more >

Faroes Passion

FAROE ISLANDS | Sunday, 2 Jun 2024 | Views [121]

Last night I had a Faroese night, with this morning having woke up with a hangover after a few at the pub and then some at home. It was bucketing down rain this morning so it was a great opportunity for a lie-in. Chivalrous to the last as always, I wouldn't ... Read more >
