I am well and truly settled in and locked down in Adelaide at this point, which means you start to create a few patterns, rituals, or habits. I’ve been running and riding a lot but there is one session each week, which stands out from the rest. Each Sunday I’ve been heading off with two …
THE WEEKLY
Every seven days I write ‘The Weekly’ and normally it is wrapping up my travels and adventures over the course of the last week. There have been many times where there are just too many hikes, locations, waterfalls, and activities to even bother listing them all in the weekly. However, now ‘The Weekly’ is functioning …
Four years ago I hit publish on the Journey Era blog. Little did I know, the moment my finger clicked that button my life would change forever. I was living on Oahu at the time, which is a tropical island in Hawaii. I was in the last semester of my journalism degree. Sitting in the …
Everyone is currently impacted by the Corona Virus pandemic that has swept the world. It’s having a profound effect on all of our lives in some way. It’s hit us all but on different levels. For some, it has been catastrophic with critical health situations and for others, it has been an unimaginable financial hit. …
Like many who were traveling abroad while the Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic began to escalate on a global scale, I was in Lombok, Indonesia. I had a flight booked back to my apartment in Cebu in two days and that should have been my next move but the world was moving quickly to close borders …
As Japan faded into the distance, I voyaged on to my next destination. Transit has become second nature and switching off from one location as I teleported to the next was my norm. I landed back in familiar territory as I touched down at Denpasar airport, spent the night next to the airport at a …
After two adventure-packed weeks of exploring Kyushu Island, it was time to make the long drive from the south of the island to Fukuoka to meet up with the Klook team for a one-week campaign promoting Kyushu and Klook. It was my final week in Japan and was the main reason I came to this …
A little over a week had come and gone in Japan and the adventures have been rolling in. Countless waterfalls, hikes, volcanoes, onsens and multiple necessary moments of trespassing where all on the menu. Pema headed home and I continued the journey south to base in Kagoshima. The car was getting a real workout with …
Touchdown Japan. After a solid few weeks in Cebu sorting out my apartment and catching up on some blog work with some serious hustle, it was time to pack my bags and head off on the first real adventure of the year. I’m in Japan for three weeks and for almost all of that time, …
Part of having a home base is making the most of the stability. As a full-time traveler, there is very little about your life that could be called stable. This instability can take a toll on you after a while. It’s not one big factor that makes traveling nonstop hard, but it is the accumulation …
Of all the positives that can come from having a home base, by far my favorite is that I have been able to buy a bike and cycle everywhere. It’s awesome on so many levels. It’s great exercise, allows me to beat all the traffic in Cebu, its a daily adventure and has allowed me …
Things have changed a lot over the last four years on this travel and blogging journey. One thing that has never changed though has been the constant travel. And despite what this blog title may suggest, I am by no means stopping the constant travels. The way my blogging business is set up, I’m required …
