Here’s Andrew standing under some beautifully tall Redwood Trees. I was pretty non-plussed about visiting this park to be honest. I’m not sure why, I just didn’t think it would be all that. How wrong could I have been! I was mesmerised! Walking through the forest of these super old giants was a pretty humbling experience. Would love to go […]

I take far too many photos. I love photography. Problem is, it’s difficult to get round to processing them. And then it seems kind of pointless. Why take photos if no one’s ever going to see them. So, providing that I have internet access, I’ve decided to try and post at least one photo a day. Will see how long […]

I’ll soon be making my way back to the UK where I’ll be looking for work. I’ll be honest. I’m dreading it. Some people love working in an office. Sadly, I’m not one of them. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy most of my work, and I’ve been lucky to work with some great people who have become life long […]

Meditation has changed my life. I don’t really understand how it works – all I know is that meditating on a daily basis, has brought me and those around me lots of benefits. I’m a much calmer person, and I’m urging everyone I know to get on it! Don’t get me wrong, I can still be a crazy bitch when I […]

I’d heard people rave about the long haul buses in Argentina, “they’re like business class flights” I was told, “you’ll love them!”. So, I was pretty disappointed when our first long haul bus journey was on an average looking bus with a stinky broken toilet with the heating cranked up to sauna temperatures. Here’s a take on what I believe […]

There are so many great museums in London, big and small. Most are free – it’s one of the best things about London. It means that you can return as many times as you want, (although donations are encouraged). So, here are my favourites, what I believe are London’s best museums: British Museum, Russell Square This place is vast and […]

There’s a lot of discussion about the level of planning you should do before embarking on a trip. If you’re leaving for a two week trip then you might want to plan most of your trip to save money on trying to figure it out where you’ll stay and what you’ll do when you’re out there. Any longer then that […]

So can you really get from Foz do Iguazu from Bonito on public transport? Yes you can. It isn’t a direct bus so you’ll have to change but it’s easy to do and a well travelled route. We weren’t sure of this either. Our guide book didn’t have much information but buses ply this route daily. When does the bus […]

So what makes a good pub? For me, it’s a variety of beers, an atmospheric place, polite staff and if I’m lucky, some good food. There are thousands of pubs in London, and I’ve been to far too many of them! Here are some of my best pubs in central London: Covent Garden The Harp, this place gets so […]

It’s surprisingly hard to find a decent restaurant in London that concentrates on British food. Here are some of my best British restaurants in London at the moment: Quality Chop House (Farringdon) Atmospheric, unpretentious with an old school class. There’s no menu, just 3 courses of sublime food and a decent wine list. The bar next door also serves food and […]
