The Lombok field trip was a success but that was quickly in the past as I jumped into a day full of transits back to my apartment in Moalboal on Cebu, Philippines. I teamed up with Cebu Pacific for the flights, which was a handy little collaboration for the transit. From Bali, you need to fly …
THE WEEKLY
The year of travel officially kicked off with my trip to Pulo Cinta in Sulawesi last week but now the real stuff begins for 2019. At 6 am the next morning after arriving back in Bali from Sulawesi, I linked up with Duncan from Classroom of Hope and a few other photographers to board the …
There are lots of perks in this line of work. Free food, free hotels, free gear (well you don’t pay for it but often work for it) and tons of other compensated experiences. But, what I find so rewarding is being able to share that with those who don’t often enjoy the comped life. My …
This week was highlighted by the launch of ‘Project Lombok’. I had the idea after watching the rise of the ‘workshop’. It seemed that everyone and anyone was booking out workshops, retreats and travel trips. I myself ran a workshop last March but at the time the trend hadn’t quite kicked off and there weren’t …
These weeks in Adelaide have been a grind. They haven’t been hard as such but they have been monotonous. I have been doing the same thing on the computer for almost a month now every day and I find it hard to get motivated for the next day knowing that the majority of it will …
On the 13th of January, 2019 it was time to bring the Adventure Bag movement to South Australia. Adelaide is my hometown so I was stoked to organize an Adventure Bag Adventure Day in the region I grew up exploring. Sea Shepherd has factions all over the world and I reached out to the Sea …
Life loves to build us up, tear us down and occasionally tear us down further. It is all just a test in the end and some people deal with it better than others. After running 80+ km’s per week for the last 2 months, my run of solid effort and good health came to an …
Optimization: “The action of making the best or most effective use of a situation or resource.” This week has been all about making the most of the current situation. With a solid block of 4-6 weeks in Adelaide, I’ve taken the time to start going back through all of my 600 blog articles and updating …
There’s nothing like heading back to the place you grew up to share Christmas with your family. This week was all about enjoying Adelaide, family and friends. I put in 85k on the track and felt good. I ran to and fro the beaches, up to Mt. Lofty and through the city several times. I …
After an incredible year of travel, projects and constantly moving about, I headed to Australia for Christmas. Returning to Adelaide is always great for recharging the batteries. Everything is easy, close and familiar. The stimuli are reduced, the stress of new things simmers while old patterns take over. With more time on my hands, the …
The Swim-Run event was done and dusted and we decided to head over to Nusa Penida (the best of the three Nusa Islands) for three days of exploration. It was myself, Josh, my sister Eloise and Josh’s friend Karoline from Norway. Having explored Nusa Penida twice now, I’d already seen a number of the popular …
The time had finally come. Josh and I headed to Sanur to meet the crew and prepare for our endurance swim-run charity event. The Bali Hope Swim Run is an event created by one of the most inspiring people I met this year, Tom Hickman. The idea is to bring 20-30 people from all walks …
