Christmas Holidays
Christmas of 2009 has forever changed me. I was in Washington D.C. and having my first white Christmas in the midst of a North American blizzard. The blizzard brought record-breaking snowfall totals to many East Coast cities, including D.C. where I was holed up with…
Crevasse Falling
“Slowly, slowly,” yelled our mountaineering guide, Wilson. In my mind, though, I couldn’t get down into the crevasse quick enough. I had never seen a crevasse, let alone been into one and with the adrenaline flowing; I was bounding down the mountain, backwards, and racing…
Photo of the Week – Lovely Lithuania
Over the past week I’ve travelled through the Baltics – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and had one of the best weeks on the trip to date. Despite the freezing temperatures, I’ve met some pretty awesome people to hang out with and loved every minute. This…
Perfect Start to 2014
I had the perfect start to 2014. Is it a sign of a good year ahead? I certainly hope so. I didn’t meet the love of my life, I didn’t tick the final item off my bucket list, but I did spend the first day…

Photo of the Week – Après Ski
The best photo from last week was this beauty taken at Après Ski in St Anton, Austria. Beers and schnapps after a hard day of skiing!
Photo of the Week – Castle

Saint Petersburg Review
For the first time on my trip, I am finally starting to get into the Christmas spirit and it’s all thanks to Saint Petersburg. I had a great four night’s stay in what was my final Russian destination before entering Europe and leaving the East…
Photo of the Week – Trans-Siberian
My favourite photo from last week was taken at a stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway just outside of Moscow. Finally, after leaving Beijing 13 day earlier, I arrived into Russia’s capital.
Ulaanbaatar Review
Ulaanbaatar is stunning. Despite being named on WikiTravel as one of the most drab looking cities in the world, a bumpy one-hour bus ride out to the Terelj National Park will quickly change this notion. I arrived into Ulaanbaatar on Wednesday 27 November after the…
