On weekdays I provide essential and informative travel tips, with a different subject each day!
“You and me all we want to be is lazy” – Suede. Sure we all need a bit of stress and pressure in life sometimes. Sometimes it really helps us get through the busy times. I’ve been there before. I’ve loved it, relished it and got through it. Life is changing for me though, and…

I couldn’t decide whether this was a Thirsty Thursdays or a Friday’s Featured Food but I ate quite a bit and so I’ve gone with food. You might also be thinking “what is so special about pizza and beer?” And you’d be right – essentially nothing. Pizza and Beer are what I love – there…

I’ve been to some truly magical islands on my travels. I love the disconnected tranquility of it all. In the past I’ve been to Sark, Bruny Island, Cuverville Island, Yi Li Dao Island and Lido Island. I also shared a top 5 remote islands, but when my travels took me to East Timor recently, I…
