It’s been a long time since I put pen to paper and shared something with my friends. So after arriving home at 9.00pm after two magic days on the road, here goes. It’s going to be short and sweet cause I’m tired. But I hope it encourages you, no matter where you live, to get [...]

Firstly, thank you for the emails asking how I am? I have been off the grid for a while, but now in Vientiane for a few more days, so making the most of internet (is that a good or bad thing) and the croissants. Thank goodness for the French. There have been plenty of journeys [...]

What is it with me and men in uniform? First it was the immigration officer at Dhaka airport. Now it is my travelling companion who just happens to be a policeman returning to work after a few days visiting his family.

In six hours, I’ll be putting on my eye patch labelled – do not disturb at 1.30am for dinner – it’s sleep time, not free food time.
As I contemplate going back to a place I love, or perhaps a place I’m purely drawn to for personal reasons (pic from where my Dad was during the [...]

Travelling alone provides one with plenty of opportunity to reflect on those people who have touched our life. In the past three days I have traversed the Cambodian countryside on buses, motodups, tuk tuks and taxis for a total of 19 hours.
