I'm a big fan of visual storytelling. I've you've ever read my blog before you'll probably have noticed that this is not a blog for words. Sure I've typed plenty of characters and sentences over the past 4.5 years, but I'll admit I'm far from the best writer in the world. I've most likely already [...]
So it's December, and time for a spot of reflection upon what has been another blimmin' good year of travel for yours truly. Back home there were a few first world problems to deal with, but on when on the road I had nothing but good times. France, Slovenia, Wales, England, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands, [...]
Between 2005 and 2008 I was almost fearless - with the obvious exception of needles. NOPE! Travelling full time and being introduced to new people and experience all of the time, I pretty much had to be. My once introverted self morphed into something entirely different, something much more fun and outgoing, more carefree and [...]
So I wrote just a few short weeks ago about what type of snowboarder I am, but never actually went into any detail about why I snowboard, and why I don't ski. Well, truth be told I can (just about) do both, and even spent a day skiing last season in Bled, Slovenia. I learnt [...]
So as the nights start to draw in on a wet and windy London, I am finding that my mind now starts to drift off and dream about fields (and mountains) of white at an ever increasing rate. In body I might be kicking up leaves of beautiful autumn reds, browns and yellows as I [...]
So this is more a collection of thoughts rather than a well constructed blogpost. But I'm just going to roll with it because I'm in that kinda mood. So last Tuesday evening I was driving home from football and The Killers 'Mr Brightside' came on the radio. You know how sometimes you can kind of [...]

Now you may have stumbled upon this competition post without first having read the backpack review, no problem, it's here - http://www.backpacksandbunkbeds.co.uk/reviews/review-numinous-anti-theft-55l-backpack/ - but lets do a quick [...]
Travel insurance is essential, but whilst I renew/buy a new policy every year, I still hope to never actually have to use my policy for anything. I want insure that both I and my possessions are safe while travelling. Stay safe while travelling! I've been lucky to date - touch wood - and have as [...]
Despite my blog post at the start of the month claiming that if you want to travel on a budget you need to travel hand luggage only, there are obviously some trips where that is just not possible. A ski/snowboarding trip is one such example, unless that is, you plan to hire absolutely EVERYTHING in [...]
Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Iceland ... there are some incredible options when it comes to European weekend escapes for 2015, and best of all is that such weekend breaks don't need to cost the earth. With low cost airlines such an RyanAir, Easyjet, Wizz Air and Flybe to name but a [...]
