Crazy stuff time. This is an old gem of a memory which still has me and my mates talking about it, and me blogging about it some NINE years later. We’re warped back to the end of January 2005. I was living in Bournemouth in England at the time but we were on a crazy Read more about The Night My Best Mate Drank 3 Litres of cider in the space of 90 seconds on a Megabus to Leeds, England[…]
It had been a long trip north east of Bogota in Colombia since the previous day and I can’t remember a more dazed or drained experience in my travel history than this particular day and border crossing from Colombia to Venezuela. It was all a bit bizarre and I didn’t really know what was happening Read more about The Day A Guy Holding A Gun Gave Me A Free Glass of Orange Juice in Venezuela[…]

Full of people in suits and briefcases, people with phones that do stuff only computers used to Read more about The Day I…Dressed as a Frog on the London Underground System[…]
Casting my mind back to late June 2007 and I was working in PR for Bite Communications in an office at Ravenscourt Park, London, England. I had been working there since July the previous year.

Yes travel gives us ups and downs, and you’ve got to laugh at things in retrospect. A great travel buddy of mine, and fellow Northern Irishman Chaz teamed up with me last year to give Laos a good go. This was before all the “tubing bars” were shut down (allegedly). Things didn’t run too smoothly Read more about The Day I…Tried To Poke An Infection Out Of My Mate’s Foot With A Cotton Bud in Vientiane, Laos[…]
