It’s been a crazy few weeks and things aren’t settling yet. This is what we got up to on a weekend break in Croatia

Phobias, Anxieties and Broken Things
It’s an overcast day in Skradin, the charming Croatian town that serves the picture-perfect Krka national park. It is here that I will be shipping guests to and from, hopefully with more regularity now that the season appears to be picking up and the bad weather has finally got the message. More or less. I …

Zadar. We Meet Again…
Sometime in the late April of 2013, with the summer teasing its hedonistic promise just over the horizon, I crossed the border between Slovenia and Croatia. After a relatively brief but nonetheless indulgent experience in the capital of Zagreb, I was at a loss as to where to turn next. My hitchhike to India was …

New Year, New Website, New Me. Looking for Stu Continues!

Or you can sit about on your arse playing online chess, watching back to back episodes of …

Birthdays, good friends and arseholes
Well it’s been a while folks. Back in my home from home. My only home to be honest. And what a lovely place it is. Made new friends, saw some old ones, and enjoyed a spirited return to these shores; including a rather wonderful birthday. Yes I recently turned the ripe old age of 35. …

Pastures old
After leading 18 pub crawls in a row, spending three months in Sofia (a large percentage of that either sick, drunk or both) and burning the candle at both ends, I was looking for a way out. Salvation came in the form of an email from a friend. A conversation similar to the following exchange …

The romance of the bus station
Punctuality was always a real stickler for my dad. I remember being hounded through my coco-pop breakfast and not allowed to read the cartoon pages of the Sunday Post as we were ‘late’ for church. Of course we’d always be the first to arrive, an eon before anyone else, which proved a real bone of …
