The first week in Papua New Guinea was all about our trek along the Kokoda Track, which took us through 96km of the dense jungle for 8-days. It sounds pretty wild but it was about to get much more adventurous as we set off aboard a small plane from Port Moresby to Mount Hagen. We …
THE WEEKLY
After a long flight with a double ‘red-eye’ from Switzerland, I touched down in Papua New Guinea. I’m on assignment for the next three weeks with the Papua New Guinea Tourism Authority to promote adventure travel to the country. Josh was on board with me and flew in from Australia on the same day. With …
For almost three months, I’ve been exploring the peaks of Switzerland. I’ve enjoyed the summer, learned a trick or two in the snow and sat atop many a viewpoint throughout the last 90 days. However, all good things come to an end and it actually seems like a fitting time to move on to the …
With three weeks left in Switzerland, it was time to finally head further east. I made my way to Appenzell District, where I would base myself for an entire week. A small room in the house of an old lady would be my base for the week. I rented it on Airbnb, which is by …
The final block of Switzerland had arrived. After the first block of 45 days with Josh and then my second block of 21 days solo, I know I had one full month to explore east and central Switzerland. I touched down in Geneva after flying back from Tunisia and took a train straight to Engelberg. …
Each country has its own spirit that shines through. It hits you at a certain moment throughout your trip and you can really feel the essence of a country. It can be hard to recognize at times and often it may be missing altogether in some situations. However, it’s important to remember that every country …
My final week in Switzerland before heading off to Tunisia for a one-week break, was a whirlwind of epic hikes. With 6 hikes in 7 days, my legs got a workout and so did my camera. Incredible conditions with low-level clouds where only topped by a few incredible sunsets and sunrises from the mountain huts. …
This week was all about mountain huts. After 50 days in Switzerland, I still hadn’t stayed overnight at one of the many incredibly situated mountain huts. After staying at three different ones this week, I’m now full of regret for how much I missed out on in those first 50 days. I stayed overnight at …
Last week I was in Alaska with Royal Caribbean on the cruise to and from Seattle as a photo gig but crusing was now over and I headed back to Switzerland. I had exactly two weeks before I headed off again so I decided to base in Interlaken. The proximity of Interlaken to lots of …
Week 165 on the road took me off the road and onto the water. I spent the entire seven days cruising from Seattle to Alaska and back again while on board the Ovation of The Seas cruise ship. The week was full of adventures with three epic shore excursions and lots of fun onboard the …
Today was no ordinary day. I witnessed the first-ever Ultrak Matterhorn Extreme Skyrunning Race, which is a 25km race with 2,800m of incline and often above 3,000m of altitude. It was billed as the most ‘technical’ race in the world, which refers to the rocky terrain, glacier crossings, snow running and 45-degree downhill sections on gravel. All …
Our fifth week in Switzerland took us on a journey with a new style of travel. We linked up with a couple of regional tourism boards in Jungfrau, Engelberg and Zermatt. They invited us out to stay at a few nice hotels in their region, provided us with cable car passes, train passes and some …
