Our grand plan was to traverse islands across the Caribbean and find work on a super yacht. It was in Cuba that things took a turn for the extraordinary.After wandering the […]

Dr Wholittle

After completing an English teaching course in Thailand we meandered our way across Asia and the middle east. We dipped our toes in the Mediterranean and then headed down the Sahara through to the west side of Africa. It was in the Congo that we were befriended by a tribe of pygmies and have been […]

For my next trick

After an altogether extraordinary evening on Saturday night I have a new series of of articles to write. Think of them as future fiction fusion. Some of you may remember reading choose your own adventure books from your childhood. If you don’t remember them please read my link. I do not include them because I […]

Platitudes in Absentia

Continuing with my inexhaustible series of leaving New Zealand tales, I thought it would be prudent to think through what I will miss about New Zealand well in advance; this way I will be prepared for home sickness.

What is on my Mind?

It has been a reasonably hectic week! Who would have thought being homeless and jobless would be a full time job? I have not had much time for my mind to idle and start vomiting a rich ambergris of valuable oily malaise. But in between the chores and sometimes whilst in the midst of them […]

Where are we going?

We have been getting a bit of this and its only natural when you signal your intention to bugger off for four months. The problem is that it is quite hard to both keep it freestyle and also know where you are going to be. To help reassure some of you wondering if we are […]

Thankfully the universe has provided me with an interesting topic to write about. The Travel Clinic Yesterday we visited a medical clinic that specialises in travel health. Gentlemen readers, a trip […]
