Somewhere between Dubai and Mumbai...
I’ve never

From The National’s Saturday
Magazine, here’s a challenging list of some of what I set out to read in the

My motivations for tackling the marathon were all very
selfish. As training continued, they grew to be more selfish; I was taking me
time, I was working on my fitness, I was trimming down, I wanted to eat more

Last year, about a week after moving to Dubai, the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon provided a buzzing atmosphere in the city and plenty to talk about. Having arrived jobless, goal-less and a little more on the squidgy side after a month in Thailand, ... Read more >

Railroaded by severe food poisoning and a trip to the hospital, our time in Nepal was cut short. It was a beautiful place, filled with challenges, life and the incredible strength of humankind. A real life changer - Nepal has more of a story to tell.

I woke up this morning and considered how ingenious the
Japanese were in developing heated toilet seats. I’m sure you can imagine why.
I wasn’t all that worried nonetheless, simply appreciative that our guide Hem

As we arrived in Nepal last night, I had great fears that I
had lost “it”. Coming off the back of an amazing adventure in Thailand, and

Abu Dhabi is irrelevant without Lonely Planet's apt description of its

On my first morning in Edinburgh, a Sunday, I found myself out on the Royal
Mile at 5.45am. Was I completely insane? Maybe not completely, but there was a
