A lack of time as well as human nature means that we all know the immediate area surrounding our workplaces very well and beyond a few hundred meters less so. Once the working day is over and maybe after some well earned bar time, we go home.  What we tend not to do is explore […]

Every year we take a trip down to Dorset, escaping the busy life of London as it offers a chance to relax. One of my most enjoyable things to do is visit Lulworth cove & Durdle Door. Durdle Door is a stunning natural limestone arch located on the Jurassic Coast near Lulworth in Dorset, England. […]

This time last year, I was lucky enough to embark on one of the best experiences of my life. For the month of August 2023 I volunteered at a safari park/game reserve near Port Elizabeth in South Africa. 11 other volunteers from all around the world and myself, stayed in the very heart of the […]

The Kingdom of Tonga… my home. This small archipelago, nestled in the South Pacific Ocean just south of Samoa and about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand, holds a special place in my heart. Even now, at 29, memories of my childhood in Tonga remain vivid, filled with the sights, sounds, and […]

Imagine sipping a refreshing strawberry daiquiri on the sun-drenched beaches of Cape Verde. This archipelago, nestled in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa, is a paradise of vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and idyllic beaches. The combination of Cape Verde’s tropical climate and the cool, fruity taste of a strawberry daiquiri creates a […]

By the look it, Taylor Swift’s Eras tour manages something rather unique. Aside from generating the singer and her entourage countless Dollars in revenue, it also seems to manage to almost entirely take over entire cities when it arrives. Now, I’m no ‘Swiftie’, to be honest the thought of even googling whether you spell that […]

Benalmádena is a picturesque town on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain renowned for its impressive Mediterranean coastline and vibrant atmosphere. With a flight time of under 3 hours to Malaga and then onward transfer time of approximately 20 minutes, it was the perfect destination to travel with my 18 month old daughter who […]

Although you can find windmills in many countries, in the Netherlands there are so many of them that many people around the globe (myself included) see them as typically an iconic symbol of Dutch culture. A few years ago on a train journey from Venlo to Amsterdam I was disappointed to only view wind turbines […]

Tucked away in a quiet residential street. I visited Sir John Soane museum this weekend, the eccentric architect of the Bank of England.
