Yes, this photo is not very interesting, I know. But it brings back memories. Not of the brewery itself, Because I never went! I was staying at a hostel in Dublin and was so wrecked from a night of drinking I didn't make my planned trip to the brewery. Instead, I gave my camera to …
So off with a bang! Thai Airways had me coasting through the clouds overnight. I remember the flight distinctively. Left at 1am, dinner a couple of hours later. Lights off for three hours and then lights on again and a movie – Sleepless in Seattle. Irony appreciated. Then breakfast and touchdown at just after 6am …

Some places you go, you just enter and BANG! You are in love. When people go to Japan, I think it’s no big deal to skip Tokyo, or not to worry too much about Osaka, but you simply have to go to the place that won my heart in less than one of its beats …
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 …
So folks, for the last one for now in my series of gateway countries, I’m heading to East Europe to a place that so many people are going these days, the Czech Republic. I could have named a few countries I liked more than the Czech Republic, and I was on the cusp of …
