Perhaps the reason that makes most sense to me is the one concerned with not only realising a deeper … More Here’s to now: Travel from a different perspective
I spend every waking second thinking about, planning or partaking in the act of travelling. After spending a significant chunk of my life on the beaten (and unbeaten) path, I have realised that you don’t have to necessarily embark on an Eat, Pray, Love style of adventure to find out who you are or where you … More 5 ways travel will make you a better person
How did it come to this? This is the question that goes over and over in my mind as I grip the sides of my bunk. My knuckles are white as the hum of the motor threatens my sanity.

My little home suburb of Coogee has come to life over the last week or so as the weather slowly warms up here in the great south land. The sun is rising earlier and setting later, allowing for a pre-work surf and an after-work swim. This morning I decided to get a coffee and take … More Coogee: Spring Light
I bought myself a new phone a few weeks ago. I resisted the three week wait for the new iphone and instead went for the Samsung Galaxy s3. I’ve never really been into gadgets or technology all that much but when discovered the camera on this phone, I haven’t been able to put it down. … More Eastern Photos
