The Indonesia Media Trip came to a close and I spent a few days recovering in Bali. Lots of content needed to be edited, written and exciting emails read. I actually enjoy hanging out in coffee shop/ hotel lobby side of blogging for the most part so it was nice to take a break from …
The second week of exploring Indonesia with the Indonesia Tourism Board was absoultely mental. Day 4 On the fourth day of our scuba trip through Indonesia, I woke early before taking a walk down the streets of Alor. Friendly locals took photos with us and said good morning as they began another day on the …
Our plane took off from Bali as I embarked on a personal milestone journey with a group of strangers I’m sure are soon to be friends. One year ago I was invited on my first ever media trip by Indonesia Tourism Board, fast forward to today and I have been invited back for another Indonesia adventure. …
It was my last moments in India as I sat in the tuk-tuk on the way to the airport in Jaipur. My driver was seventeen and had been driving since 11. His driver name was Chapati and he went to art school during the day and drove at night. He told me a crazy story …
These past seven days have been my last full week of adventures in India. I explored the ‘Golden City’ of Jaisalmer and the ‘Blue City’ of Jodhpur. Jaisalmer is close to the west border of India and a stone’s throw from Pakistan. It felt isolated, dry and a little different to the other cities in …
I never set out to be a professional photographer when I first got into photography. I had never been out of the automatic settings on a camera before midway through 2015. I started watching youtube videos teaching me about how to set up my camera, how to focus and so forth. The main reason I …
I had a jarringly strange moment this week, I felt something I’d never experienced before in my life. I was wasting time before my flight at a dusty, open-air cafe in Koh Samui. I couldn’t read anything on the menu and I think the lady at the counter recognized this as she ordered my meal …
This week has been another crazy chapter in my journey. I got an email from the Indonesia Tourism Board inviting me back for another press trip. This time last year I was invited by the Indonesia Tourism Board for two-week all expenses paid press trip. They even gave us a daily spending allowance, none of …
The holy lake in the center of Pushkar creates a peaceful atmosphere, which spreads throughout the entire town. However, there is a rule that made for some sticky situations. Because of the holy nature of the lake, shoes are not allowed to be worn on the ghats of the lake, surrounding paths or footbridges. Everybody …
52 weeks. One year. A hell of a lot has happened and a hell of a lot has changed. One year ago I set off to travel the world. I thought I could be a blogger or an Instagrammer but I wasn’t really sure, I had a few thousand dollars back-up money that would last …
We’ve all seen it a hundred time on television, postcards, advertising, and posters, but it is a place I never thought I would end up visiting. It is fast-becoming the theme of the year. The Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world. And in the middle of the summer, I found myself …
Varanasi was mental. In a good way. Traffic, cows, rubbish, noise, dust, animals, vendors and of course the excruciating heat slowly wear you down day by day. However, I honestly had a great time in Varanasi, but my 10 days in the holy city were challenging to say the least. Everybody always says backpacking in …
