This is day 19 of my 24 day trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal -> View all posts for this trek My alarm went off at 4:30am but I hadn't really been sleeping anyway. Sleep is hard to come by at over 5000 metres (16500ft) in altitude and I had been in and out of [...]
Today's travel photo is of Lake Pukaki, looking north towards a cloud covered Mount Cook on the South Island of New Zealand. You may think that I have photoshopped the hell out of that lake, but I actually haven't. Lake Pukaki really is that beautiful colour, having being fed from the melt water from the [...]
Melbourne is a city that I took way too long to go and visit. I'm Australian born and bred and have lived here all of my life, but in my 32 years I had never gone to Australia's second largest (and some would argue, most popular) city. This year, I finally changed that, and I [...]
Today's travel photo is of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. This is the first photo I have posted from my recent trip to New Zealand's South Island. This tiny church on the shores of Lake Tekapo is a popular site and has to be the most famous church in [...]
Paris is notoriously regarded as one of the most expensive cities in the world to visit. Personally, I didn't find it quite as bad as people make it out to be and I found prices were similar to most popular European cities. That being said, if you're on a tight budget, you are certainly going [...]
This is day 18 of my 24 day trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal -> View all posts for this trek It had been a long, challenging but incredibly rewarding trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal over the past couple of weeks. It had its highs and lows but the scenery was simply spectacular, the [...]
This is day 17 of my 24 day trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal -> View all posts for this trek The trek over the Cho La Pass had left me tired and exhausted, and so the short and relatively easy walk to Lobuche today would be much appreciated by my weary legs. I left [...]
Today's travel photo is of a fountain at Trafalgar Square in London. Trafalgar Square is one of those must visit sites in London as it is such an iconic part of the city. It's a busy place, full of tourists and locals, and the surrounding streets are always busy with traffic. The square sits in [...]
I've been to Melbourne several times. Most of those times were in transit at the airport but I also drove through it on my way across Australia a couple of years ago, however I've never had the time to stop and have a look around, so I've always considered Melbourne to be a city that I [...]
This is day 16 of my 24 day trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal -> View all posts for this trek It was dark and freezing when my alarm went off. I was up at 5am to attempt the toughest part of my trek in the Khumbu region of Nepal. The first light of day [...]
