Sarajevo
Last week I returned from Sarajevo and I've been reflecting ever since. I wasn't sure what to expect from the city, a place almost destroyed by war just 20 years ago. I have vague memories from a child of seeing the destruction on the news, and in my mind the Balkans have remained a distant… Continue reading Sarajevo
Solo Travel
Standing in the queue to go through immigration at Hanoi airport in Vietnam is where it started. The realisation that I was alone in South East Asia with my backpack finally hit me. There was no turning back, meaning the only option was to embrace it. Feel the fear and do it anyway. It was… Continue reading Solo Travel
Mount Maunganui Summit Walk
Any trip to Mount Maunganui in New Zealand's Bay of Plenty region is incomplete without making it to the top of the town's iconic mount for panoramic views. Most locals worth their salt will complete the short, but tough ascent at least once a week, with many making it part of their daily routine. And… Continue reading Mount Maunganui Summit Walk

It's known for its rolling green hills on… Continue reading New Zealand Summer
Discovering Morocco
Morocco is a land of adventure, glamour and mystery. It feels European, African and Arabian, all at the same time. It's a travel friendly country but with a hint of danger around the edges. The cities revolve around traditions, but are still moving with modern times. Basically, Morocco is an intoxicating blend of deserts, mountains, beaches, cities, poverty and luxury. Visiting Morocco is a dream… Continue reading Discovering Morocco
The Marrakech Medina
The instructions from the manager seemed simple enough. Turn left out of the riad, then left again to find the main street. We had a little map with the route to Jemaa El Fna market square clearly marked, but within steps of entering the old quarter of Marrakech, we felt lost. Sights, smells and sounds overwhelming the… Continue reading The Marrakech Medina
Yoga On The Road
Maintaining a regular yoga practice while travelling can be a tricky process. Most yogis like to practice at their favourite studio, go to a particular class and learn from their best-loved instructors. It becomes a comforting routine. Going to the same place and seeing familiar faces. Routine can be good. It provides structure. But what… Continue reading Yoga On The Road
