  • Propaganda, Patriotism, and Politics – My Two Cents on this Election

    It genuinely beggars belief for me why people are still voting Tory. I’ve been wracking my brains and reading as much as I can about this whole affair, and I’ve come to the conclusion that people continue to back these sinister, money-hoarding, privileged elites for one of the following three reasons. They’ve been misinformed. They’re …

    Belgrade to Sofia – “The Balkan”

    The very last train I boarded was from Belgrade to Sofia circa 2015. At the time I was trying to get over a girl called Sofia. I am now once again on a train to Sofia – only this time not trying to get over a girl – but rather trying to be in the …

    It’s an overcast day in Skradin, the charming Croatian town that serves the picture-perfect Krka national park.

What it genuinely boils down to is the fact that so much seems to have gone on in these last few months it begins to overwhelm, and so I swap the laptop glare and crumb-filled …

  • Return to Bangkok and Bishkek

    It’s been a while since I’ve penned anything of late, so I thought it high time I tell the horrendous tale of the return to Bangkok and Bishkek. Eventually – if you bare with me -I will finally get up to date and bring you into my current world. Jump on in – the water …

  • Angkor Whatever

    I was feeling like the weight of the world had lifted off my shoulders. In the days following “the death wank” I’d be born again and made the life-changing decision to stop traveling. Six years is a long time, and my recent health debacle was the catalyst for serious reconsideration. In booking a flight – …
