The group of men in their late 60s and early 70s ahead of me on the plane were overzealous with an overdose of libido on their way to the Land of Smiles. Larry, aged 74, had a passport with mostly stamps from Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. ... Read more >

From Anson Bay to Emily Bay, It's my final full day on Norfolk Island. The colour was magical today. I slept in reasonably late after walking all the way home last night. Several days ago I met a Fijian lady named Jipa when she offered me a lift home.... Read more >

Norfolk Island is so dry at the moment I can hardly recognize it. The grass is brown practically everywhere and I get painful thorns in my feet when I walk barefoot. This morning would bring some cooler temperatures and grey skies. As I called into the ... Read more >

To the "duchess of my travels" I've returned, the same way MacArthur vowed to return to the Philippines. Every time, before I leave Norfolk, I utter MacArthur's famous words. Every time, I've returned to where I love most. Coming to Norfolk is always ... Read more >

Adventures with Mel would continue today. I've only known her for a few days but we get on really well. She would tell me this morning that what she really likes about me is that if I want to do something I just do it and figure out how to make it happen ... Read more >

This morning, Mel and I took the train from Hualien to Taitung, deep in the southeast corner of the country. Using one of my great travel strategies, I put Mel's ticket on my credit card and collected the cash from her.
Being a weekend, ... Read more >

With only eight days in Taiwan I didn't want to spend all of it in Taipei and I wasn't interested in spending much time on the more populated west coast. Taiwan's east coast is home to many of the country's natural wonders. Yesterday I thanked Erwin ... Read more >

It sounds like a university course, perhaps on the history of Taiwan's capital. It appears as if several Chinese food containers have been stacked on top of each other. Once the world's tallest building at a height of 1,671 feet (509 metres), the Taipei ... Read more >

What a past few weeks it's been as far as journeying: New Zealand, Tahiti, sailing to Pitcairn Island (and back), Mo'orea, hitchhiking the California coast, filming in LA, and a lot in between. Since I wanted to go back to Australia, I explored options ... Read more >

What a past few days this has been? Is there ever a dull moment on my travels? Even if there is I can make a cool story out of it. I'm in California for a couple of weeks to do some filming for Fearless Journey, as we've finally got funding! From Pape'ete ... Read more >

It's my final full day in French Polynesia. This journey has been truly magical. Tahiti, Mangareva, Pitcairn, and Mo'orea have all lived up to their expectations. Last night I was thinking of walking up Mount Aorai, or possibly cycling round Tahiti Nui.... Read more >

In Mo'orea I've done so much above yet almost nothing below. My lack of being in the water on this journey inspired me to book a snorkelling tour with Moorea Miti Tours. How would snorkelling be here compared to elsewhere? The weather was nice today, ... Read more >

After today I reckon I’m a champion trekker on Mo’orea. Mouaputa, meaning “pierced mountain” in Tahitian, literally has a hole in it. Up for a rigourous challenge today I decided to tackle Mouaputa alone despite the recommendation ... Read more >

You don't come to French Polynesia to hang about in Pape'ete, plain and simple. You get your bearings, stock up on provisions, and then get as far away from there as possible. Before making a run for Mo'orea yesterday I had a bit of work to do, and that's ... Read more >

Getting to Pitcairn is no easy feat therefore returning from there is no easy feat, either. Today would sure be a lengthy one! It was very wet and grey as the MV Silver Supporter was closing in on Mangareva. It was breakfast as usual and getting our ... Read more >

All good things must come to an end. And they did so today as I boarded the MV Silver Supporter for my return to Mangareva. Up early I was like usual, I just had to see Mrs. T one final time. The last of my bananas went to her as she was in her usual ... Read more >

Wow! Have I done a lot on Pitcairn or what? Today I’d visit a place that’d be the feather in my cap during my time here. Down Rope is recommended only with a guide as someone was seriously injured several years ago and had to be evacuated ... Read more >

I’ve done nearly all of the major walks here on Pitcairn. Highest Point I’ve visited twice, and Tedside, Down Isaac’s, and St. Paul’s Pool once each. The weather was supposed to turn foul today but I wanted to get up to Christian’... Read more >

The weather has come right again here on Pitcairn. Whilst I’ve seen a fair amount on the western half of the island, it was now time to explore some of the eastern half of the home of the Bounty mutineers. St. Paul’s Pool was on my radar ... Read more >

In much of the rest of the South Pacific, you have to search hard to find something open on Sunday, if anything is open at all. Here on Pitcairn, however, Sunday is one of the busiest days on the island. The post office, treasury, souvenir shop, museum, ... Read more >

At 3 AM I arose. Randy was already awake, chatting with some of the ship’s crew. As I gazed across the horizon I could make out a faint silhouette of Pitcairn. Finally I’ve sighted it, and finally soon, I’d be able to foot on it. When ... Read more >
