Telling stories is never as much fun when people can’t laugh at all the shit that goes wrong, and after a few days of amazing craziness and plenty of things going a bit tits up as has been known to happen on my adventures, our final day, which is the one after the one that [...]
We’re now two days into our four day tour which means there’s three days to go and that makes absolutely no sense and neither does anything else that’s about to happen. By now the only ‘shower’ I’ve had is the snorkel in the ocean the day before but I’m about to get a very comprehensive [...]
After a pretty fun first day, I wake up full of beans after what was, all things considered, a fairly decent night sleep in a swag, only to find a second, much bigger python about six feet away from where I’m sleeping. Everyone said it was much bigger than the first one but I’m pretty [...]
So I get a call late on Friday - do I want to go shoot some stuff somewhere? We leave Monday. There's no way I can do it with existing work commitments but then someone mentions birds and hello, what time do we leave? I'm in. Even though I have very little idea what I'm [...]
So we all know how completely messed up the Aussie bushfires are. Lives and property lost, environment decimated, animals and potentially entire species gone forever. We're all doing what we can in our own way, at whatever level we can. I know we're all being bombarded with fundraisers left, right and centre and there's only [...]
A few years ago I noticed a bit of a pattern: I'd limp into the end of year thinking 'thank fuck that's over!'. And to be fair, there were a few challenging years in there for sure. But a couple of years back I made a conscious decision to look back at my year a [...]
Want to come to Cambodia with me in 2019? A little while back I was approached by a friend of mine who was heading to Cambodia towards the end of January 2019 to run an ultra with some friends. She'd been on both my Bali and Cambodia tours previously, and clearly a glutton for punishment, [...]
OK good folks of the internet, here’s the dealio. When people fuck up, or shit goes tits up, the new buzz word is ‘pivot’. We don’t ‘fail’, we ‘pivot’. We change things up. Most importantly, we don’t fucking quit. We dust ourselves off, adjust ourselves, and take off in a new direction. My new direction [...]
After 30 years of visiting Bali, showing friends around, and hosting adventure tours there, it's fair to say I know a bit about what to see and do there. Although the truth is, if you're looking for a where to stay/eat/drink guide, this ain't it cause that's not my bag. But if you're looking for [...]
It’s easy to look at people’s adventures on social media and get all wistful and wish you could do this or that. And that kind of Wanderlust gets a bit fuckity if it makes you feel like you’re missing out on something by focusing on the shit you can’t do, rather than excited about what [...]
