This was my weekend to feel like a panda. Damyang has been on my Korea bucket list for a while, as it’s known around the country for its bamboo forests. Since its annual festival came around la...
So…I kinda feel like I’m finally joining the 21st century. To say that I’m a bit slow when it comes to technology is an understatement. But, with some major changes coming up in the...
It was Monday, and I was dumbstruck. Now, you and I both know that Mondays suck. No matter how much you might like where-ever you wind up at the beginning of the work-week, it still marks the end of ...
So what happened in Borneo? Oh, y’know, just: - finally getting SCUBA certified - …and diving one of the most famous dive sites in the world - …and seeing massive sea turtles, white...
I may be in the jungle now, but it doesn’t feel so long ago that I was in the desert. It was a truly unique trip, one of the most curious I’ve ever been on. A whirlwind of travel, an actu...
El Nido, the Philippines So, that next test I briefly alluded to in the last post? Well, I better hope that I’m really over my broken leg, because I’m about to tackle much harsher terrain...
I survived! No-one is more surprised than me….but first, let me explain. Japan, to say the least, was an impromptu trip. As of mid-January, I’d been on crutches for almost two and a half ...
There’s one thing that I really, really miss here in Korea. Y’see, I can be a bit of a hippie sometimes, especially when it comes to food. It’s the Californian influence. Slap the w...
I was thirteen the first time I went, armed with a free ticket, a film camera, and one of my closest friends. This time, I’ve got a cheap ticket, a digital camera (or two), and a smattering of ...
There was one thing I had to do before leaving California. This trip had been a fantasy for years upon years, something I always wanted and figured that I’d do, but that had continually fallen ...
It hasn’t been that cold this winter, unlike last year, but the chill is still enough to make me miss warmer weather (just a bit). The other day I came across some photos from a perfect summer ...
Beware the tourism industry. Anytime we travel, we’re constantly told that we need to both do and buy something to truly experience the place we visit. Entrance tickets. Outdoor activities. Qui...
It’s that retrospective time of year! 2011 has been amazing, to say the least, and as 2012 is just around the corner, I thought I’d take a minute to look back on some of the adventures th...
A few years ago, Christmas found me here. It was sort of an impromptu trip, devised when we came across cheap train deals from Berlin. The first night I arrived, I came across an open tank of massive...
I can be a real cheapskate sometimes. So when my travel buddy and I were in Arequipa, Peru, and she asked if I wanted to check out the Santa Catalina Monastery, I initially took a look at the entranc...
Just today, I was looking through my photographs from Morocco when I came across these pictures of my favourite souvenirs. Morocco is a shopper’s paradise, to say the least – walking thro...
Bonus: have a photoshoot with your new favourite accessory! So, a funny thing happened last weekend: apparently, I fractured my tibia. Let’s ignore the hilarious and mildly traumatic back-story...
Just as evening chanting began, the storm rolled in. We could hear it outside – the wind barrelling through the trees, the thunder cracking in the distance, and the torrents of rain coming down...
We don’t get much of a sunset here in Seoul. You might catch a few clouds changing colours above your head as the night moves in, but once the sun dips down towards the horizon all the colours ...
Sometimes, you need the plane ticket. Sometimes, you need the novelty of the foreign. But sometimes, all you need is a group of friends, a pension on the beach, perfect weather and a birthday to cele...
Chill in warm wood-toned bars with a hookah at hand. Play poker til late in the common room. Party, a lot. Steel yourself against exhaustion and wake up early for an adrenaline rush. Watch others fir...
Breakfasts of fresh fruit. Walkways lined with giant shells. Memories and travel stories. Memories and local stories. Fruit shakes all day, every day. Colours and trikes. Kiosks overladen with vegeta...
You might think you’re a world traveller. You might think that you’ve seen other places, that you’ve experienced other cultures, but still, sometimes, your own sheer ignorance will ...
I just got back from 16 days of swimming, snorkeling, partying, dancing, cliffdiving, island hopping, chicken bus riding, tropical paradising, sunrise catching, firefly watching, cave exploring, murd...
San Diego, 2009. Tomorrow, I fly to the Philippines. I am excited for the following things: . sitting on the beach . sitting on the beach with a good book . sitting on the beach with a good book and ...
It’s an understatement to say that Seoul has a thriving café culture. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a city with quite so many cafés all over, in every nook and cranny, tiny un...
OK, this was a bit of a surprise. For all those other obsessive-travel-blog-readers like myself, seeing the Tripbase My 7 Links project probably isn’t anything new, as it’s been spreading...
The colonial history wasn’t all that surprised me in Macau. Rather, I was taken back by all the street art I saw – something I’d missed in Hong Kong, and barely seen in Taiwan. It w...
Sometimes travel takes you straight down the rabbit hole. Macau is an easy day trip from Hong Kong, but as soon as I had the opportunity to spend a few hours walking around, I sincerely wished I were...
And we definitely deserve it.
