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 …
Lurking in the mountains above the town of Juneau is the epic Mendenhall Glacier. It’s a vast 14-mile long glacier in the federally protected Tongass National Forest. We flew up from Juneau town in a helicopter, surveying the glacier before landing at base camp. Once at base camp, we strapped on our crampons and explored …
The Laughton Glacier Trail is one of the best excursions in Skagway for cruise visitors and local hikers. The expedition begins with a ride along a historic railway aboard the White Pass Train. The vintage train drops you at the trailhead of the hike, which leads you through the mossy wonderland and out of 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 …

It’s now been a few weeks of epic adventures in Switzerland and the pace has been electric. We’ve racked up an average of two hikes every three days with the ‘day off’ consisting of a gym session, run or a smaller hike! I’ve been managing the recovery of my hip but that injury aside, it’s …
The third week of Switzerland adventures has come to a close and to be honest, I’m pretty happy to have made it through the week. Josh and I had a pretty epic adventure that involved one bizarre and potentially deadly moment. You may have watched the rundown on my Instagram Story but if not, Josh …
For the last six years, I have been traveling all around the world taking photographs and writing travel. Throughout this time I’ve tried a lot of different travel camera gear and also different backpacks and organization methods to keep it all sorted efficiently.

Life on the road is often seen as the ultimate freedom. No lock-in contracts, no fixed abode, nothing holding you back from the adventure of a lifetime. It’s all true. Everything you have heard is true. However, at what cost does that freedom come? The cost is generally on your diet, health, sleep, comfort, practicality …

The first week in Switzerland has delivered some unbelievable hikes, panoramic views from several thousand meters and we have been challenged in more ways than one. I thought …
With three quick flights from Turkey, I managed to land myself in Lebanon. It was a new country for me and the second time I would be collaborating with Red Bull and the Clean Cliffs Project. The Red Bull Cliff Diving competition was being held in Beirut for the first time ever with the athletes …
