A couple of weeks ago I got to spend a few days exploring Lake Titicaca in Peru (the posts going live tomorrow!) and this is one of my favourite images – the view from our boat as we headed out to the floating islands – tranquil water reflecting gorgeous sunny skies. Tweet

I spent last weekend exploring the floating islands of Lake Titicaca – some 20minutes boat journey off the mainland city of Puno in Peru. It’s a stunning place where local families literally live on reed beds floating around the lake, anchored together in a small community, the perfect place to take some lush shots! Tweet

I’ve spent the last week of my travels at my first stop in Peru – the small surfing town of Mancora. It’s been great to simply chill out, not worry about work and enjoy the waves. And the wave here is EPIC! The hollow left hand point break has been producing some lush lines and [...]

One of the toughest things about being a backpacker is deciding what to do with your time. You could hit the beach, grab a beer, climb a waterfall, jump out of a plane, explore a temple….the possibilities are endless. But sometimes it’s nice to take some serious time out, cool down in the pool and [...]

After getting back from cruising the Galapagos this weekend I’ve been busy editing photos and typing up some blog posts on my lush adventure on these beautiful islands – so it’s only fitting that this week kicks off with a pic of the boat I spent a week living on – The Valkiria. A 10 [...]

Its`s carnival here in South America at the moment which basically means 4 days of party chaos…so today I was woken up with a toastie and a rum and coke…pushed towards the swimming pool and proceeded to spend the entire sunlight hours drinking, partying and enjoying life. …there`s a cold one waiting for you if [...]

I’d like to start off by saying that this image is unphotoshopped – except for the vignette border! Sunsets here in Montanita are off the chart and the best I’ve seen worldwide. And what better way to see out the day than with a sunset swim or surf as the light melts into the ocean. [...]

This weeks photo of the week isn’t that good Photo wise – except for the fact both people involved have awesome hair! – it’s more about the story behind it. Since travelling I’ve realised the world is small and within the backpacker bubble it’s even smaller. I met this girl through a girl I work [...]

Surfing is pretty much taking up all of my time in Ecuador – it is my job after all – but I thought I’d share some warm water lines with you all. This is local long boarder Carlos cruising hang five down a glassy Montanita face…happy days indeed! Tweet

Xmas Kitty Well it still hasn’t snowed down here in Devon yet – it’s tried briefly but nothing major – so I thought I’d bring some xmas snowy cheer to the blog with this picture of my last cat exploring in the snow a few years ago. I want it to snow already! Tweet

RTW 2012…DONE! Ok so this isn’t the most exciting or striking Photo of the Week – in fact most of you are probably thinking “what the hell has he posted a chip and pin machine for”?! It might not mean much to you but this is a picture of my flight payment being processed, this [...]
