Hey everyone, how has your week started off? Well, today I have decided to do another ‘list’ post. It was brought to my attention by my lovely commenters that in my post a couple of weeks back ‘Six Countries to Visit Before You Die’ that not ONE of those countries was in Europe, which hadn’t …

Howdy all, today I’m doing one of those ol’ lists where I suggest a few places you might not have considered visiting but I thoroughly recommend. Perhaps you have some countries you consider ‘hidden gems’, here’s a list of five from me! Uzbekistan Here’s one that previously I might not have put on the list, …

Last week I began the story of my misadventures (or lack thereof) in Iceland, twenty years ago now. And about a month. When I wrote last week I wrote about arriving, the shock of being alone in such a … treeless place (clearly this is in my mind as I look at photos and there …

Oooh here we are with a very retro 'Foto/Selfie' Friday. Here I am in Iceland back in 1999 on my very first solo trip around the world. Above I'm in Reykjavik at the bay. Below you'll find me outside the hostel I stayed at near the capital. My goodness I look like a 15 years. …
Following on from yesterday's post I am staying with Iceland this week. A land of harsh beauty, thermal springs, and when I was there in July 1999 amazing blue skies it's very photogenic. I say that knowing I didn't take that many shots when I was there, and of course it was all on film …
‘Twas a long time ago now, on an island far far away, that I journeyed from the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, northwards to the top of the land and a little town called Akureyri. Which is honestly quite difficult to spell. Iceland had been an interesting place to visit in 1999, although I did not …
And so it was that I left London via Stockholm to go to a little island out in the middle of Atlantic Ocean known as ‘Iceland’. And what a strange, confronting and challenging 2 weeks it would turn out to be. What can I say about this country? It’s well, not over-endowed with trees. That’s …
I’ve been lucky enough to have in the last fifteen years probably three ‘trips of a lifetime’ as well as several awesome shorter trips intermingled between them. Today I take you back to my very first trip (solo) which took place in 1999. How did it come about? Well, I finished high school in 1993 …
