I’m really enjoying the beauty of Switzerland at the moment and I think this is a perfect example, shot in Zurich just as the sunset. Gorgeous stone buildings, ornate bridges, church spires, mountains in the distance and all reflected in a peaceful river running through the middle – it’s like a photographers dream! And for …
It’s been a bit of a shock heading from the tropical climates of SE Asia to Switzerland and my body is going to take a while to adjust. However there are some upsides – yesterday marked the first day of winter (a season I’ve successfully avoided all year!) and in true winter style Switzerland had …
Yup….you heard me right – I’m in Switzerland! I posted a few weeks ago about my change of travel plans and the fact I was ready to leave Asia and bounce back to Europe to go see the girl for a bit, but I was kind of vague about when, and there was a reason …
I woke up one morning on Koh Rong Island in southern Cambodia and was chilling in my hammock about 10m from the ocean and thought “what the hell is that” as a huge object slowly began to flat past. Then it turned and faced me exposing its un mistakable horns – it was a water …
This week, instead of just a single image I’m giving you a little photo montage from the day I spent exploring Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. Two reasons for this – firstly because I couldn’t pick a single shots and secondly because I don’t think I could write a post on Angkor Wat that wouldn’t …
I’ve only been in Cambodia a few days but I’ve already fallen in love with it – the place is beautiful and the people are heaps friendly. I shot this portrait whilst a Cambodian family helped fix my buddies push bike when the chain snapped, we were with them just over an hour and they …
This week I’m finally bouncing from my island home on Phi Phi Island to head back onto the backpacker trail. I would’ve left before the weekend but unfortunately I cocked up transferring my cash around and found myself with no money for a few days! I’ve been sat on Phi Phi for the best part …
There’s alot of things that are going to remind me of Phi Phi, things that can only really happen on an island like this. Things like dragging my weary hungover self out of bed at 7am and submerging myself under 30m of water. Stuff like dancing around on the beach only to find the dancefloor …
It’s not all sunshine and beaches here in Thailand! This shot was taken out the window of my mini bus to the ferry port in Phuket – the night before had seen an epic storm roll in with buckets of rain! I awoke to find the mini bus literally crawling through knee deep water! Didn’t …
Anyone that has been following my backpacking exploits this year will know that since I’ve got to Asia my plans have been all over the shot! Like really all over the place! First off I was only meant to be in Asia until August, when I was set to bounce into Oz and NZ. And …
This weeks shot is from my beloved Koh Tao. Just off the north west side of the island lies Nang Yuan – one of only a handful of cojoined islands worldwide (I forget how many and I gave up after a short Google search!). It’s only a 15min long tail journey from the main backpacker …
The post I did a couple weeks ago for the Travel Blog Relay got me thinking about what tops my list of travel memories and was a tough one to narrow down to 3 of the best. But it also got me thinking – the Internet is full of travel blogs listing off everyone’s top …
Over the last few years my tattoo collection has been slowly growing. I’ve also begun to use it to remind me of my travels – and even went as far as getting my website logo inked onto my ankle whilst a little bit intoxicated in Peru! Well I wanted one to remind me of my …
If you’ve been taking note of my Facebook Fanpage you’ll have noticed that whilst the girl was over in Thailand with me I did something slightly outside of my backpacker character – I was to be found residing in some rather plush accommodation. Now before you start thinking that I’ve sold out let me assure …
Anyone that has spoken to me over the last couple of weeks is pretty aware that my travel plans have been all over the shot and to be honest I’ve not really had a clear idea of where I wanted to be, or what I wanted to do with the remainder of the year. It’s …
There’s certain things whist travelling that always serve as a reminder that you’re on an epic holiday, jolting you from your comfort zone and going “hey – I’m in a tropical paradise”! The humble palm tree is undoubtedly the most famous of these icons, and nothing conjures up the warm feeling of sun beating down …
