Imagine being woken up by your alarm at 4am, crawling out of your sleeping bag, putting on layers of warm clothes, waterproof pants and jacket, a life jacket, and a head lamp, then climbing up onto deck and steering a fifty foot sailing yacht through the waves in absolute darkness, dozens or hundreds of miles Continue reading
We took two big bus trips in Cambodia: Siem Reap to Phnom Penh on a Mekong Express bus and Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville on a Giant Ibis bus. Here’s my Mekong Express and Giant Ibis Bus Review: how they compare, and how to book each of them. Spoiler: My vote goes to Giant Ibis. And Continue reading
Last year, I shared a video with you guys of a group of sperm whales we came across while sailing between Menorca and Barcelona. We were lucky, because the whales came incredibly close to our boat.

When I was in Albay in the Philippines last year, I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t whale watching season and I didn’t get a chance to see these amazing creatures. Whilst I had heard there were some whales in the Mediterranean, I never actually considered the Mediterranean to be a place for whale Continue reading
Island Getaways are one of my favourite way to spend a summer (and to be honest with you, a winter as well…). With all the sailing I’ve been doing lately, I’ve been dreaming of sailing away to a deserted island and leaving all the real world drama behind. I came quite close to doing that Continue reading
We booked our Christmas odyssey of flying Barcelona – Stuttgart – Cologne – Manchester – Chicago – Manchester – Barcelona, all in the space of two weeks, quite late.
