If I had to use one word to describe myself, other than painfully organised, it would have to be cautious! And yes the exclamation point is necessary! Ok that one went a bit far. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I’m a person who likes to evaluate risk; think Ruben in Along Came...Read More
Colombia still has a notorious reputation across the world, spawned by its booming cocaine business that fed the USA for a number of years and is only just starting to be overturned.

When was the last time you went off-grid? Like back to basics, no phone, no 3G, no home comforts off-grid? My guess is that it’s been a while. But today the idea of escaping it all, if only for a while, is a nostalgic notion which we all secretly long for in our hectic on...Read More

For me, the anticipation of travelling is more stressful than the travelling itself. Once I’m through security and dragging my lightweight bag through the airport I’ll be in the zone, the travelling zone, and as long as nothing goes wrong I’ll be fine. Hopefully I won’t have to think on my feet at all, because...Read More
