"Short stories and travel reports from my life adventures around the globe".
Pamplona, Spain. Cover photo courtesy of Eaeaea. August 2015. Back in my early to mid twenties, in the days before I became an addicted blogger, I used to read a lot. Over time, I fell for a number of novelists whose works I read religiously, including Donna Tartt, David Sedaris, Khaled Hosseini and Ben Elton. Eventually, I […]
Read MoreSan Sebastian, Spain. August 2015. Everybody and their dogs had told me how I’d be mad to leave San Sebastian out of my trip across Northern Spain. After all, this was supposed to be one of the world’s most stunning coastal cities. Known in its native Basque language as Donostia, this petite city also has a reputation […]
Read MoreHey everyone, I recently picked up The Outstanding Blog Award thanks to a nomination from Ann-Kathrin at The Wandering Explorer Travel Blog. This is my second WordPress award and hey, it feels nice, especially coming from a talented blogger like Ann-Kathrin. As the tradition goes, I have to answer her seven questions and then nominate […]
Read MoreCool Spots Around Kampot. July-September 2020. Most travellers only spend a few days in the city of Kampot, using it as a base for nearby Bokor National Park. Indeed the majority of blog articles focuses exclusively on the park and a scattering of other provincial sites, such as La Plantation. One advantage of spending two […]
Read MorePhnom Chhngok Cave Temple, Kampot. September 2020. Sladja and I had been holed up in our guesthouse room for the better part of a week when we started to become agitated. We needed to get out, stretch our legs and cross another sight off our Kampot to-do list. Scanning our notes, I found my eyes […]
Read MoreNibi Spa, Kampot. August, 2020. I’ve always been into massage and spas. As a born worrier and chronic overthinker, I need these kinds of treatments to restore some physical and mental balance. Looking back, these chill out days represent some of my most memorable travel experiences. I recall fondly my day at a traditional hammam […]
Read MoreKoh Rong Island, Cambodia. December 2015. It was hard to imagine that Christmas was around the corner. In just under a few weeks I’d be flying back to Scotland where there’d be snow, mince pies and dog walks in the local forest. It was all a million miles away from the blue skies and glistening […]
Read MoreThe Battambang Bamboo Train. December 2015. I’m so glad I set aside a couple of days for Battambang during my first cross-country adventure in Cambodia. Having thoroughly enjoyed the mind blowing parade of bats at Phnom Sampeau Mountain, it was now time for one of the world’s most unique rail journeys! Yup, for just $5 of your hard […]
Read More2020: The Highs & Lows of a Nomadic Travel Blogger. I’ve never done a post like this before, so you’ll have to bear with me. Truly, I hardly know where to start. Except to say, and forgive my language… What a f****ing crazy year! It blows my mind to think that a year ago today, […]
Read MoreTorremolinos, The Costa del Sol. July 2016. It would be an understatement to say that Torremolinos doesn’t have a great reputation. Disparaged by many as the grottiest of The Costa del Sol towns, in Britain it has the unfortunate nickname Torrid-molinos. Nevertheless, I had already resolved to give these unloved coastal towns a try. Mainly […]
