Disclaimer is defined as such: a statement that denies something, especially responsibility. A disclaimer is precisely whats required to begin this day in terms of not taking responsibility for how it has unfolded; it also applies to the reading of this days adventures. So mums, relatives, colleagues and friends; don’t judge, as the disclaimer says, […]
We all know that moment, we arrive home when work was too busy, rugby training went too late or you’ve just had one of those days so you grabbed some Thai on the way because cooking was just too hard. On top of the pile of containers so often sits a small foil lined paper […]
There’s food, riding bikes around town, some shopping and outstanding coffee. Even the coffee must be skimmed over today as they pale into insignificance come 8:30pm, the moment this day becomes alive in a way to make the hours that came before it seem irrelevant, not worth commenting on. In a travel headspace where every […]
As if yesterdays too easy embracing of the Thai food eating disorder wasn’t enough we’re back on the wagon and ready to seek happiness at the bottom of a bowl all over again; it’s cooking school time. Again. After the Bamboo Tree cooking school in Luang Prabang knocked our socks off there seems no better […]
We’ve finally recovered. Battling through self doubt, harsh acceptance and crippling restraint there emerges now light peeking through a dark cloud so full of trials, an uplifting wash of euphoria at the achievement that always seemed to distant.

A fantastic couple of weeks in Laos, even though we were only in two main locations we managed to fit a lot in. Below are my favourite pictures and my first video in this category from the short time we were there. Check out the other pictures from previous countries under “what you’d rather be […]
After three weeks camping in Africa, two weeks hiking in Nepal and two weeks cycling in China we entered Laos in need of a rest and a return to a more casual style of travel. The border post into Laos was an open eyed blank canvas into relaxation and recovery; more like the first day […]
The day today begins before the birds, before the morning breeze whistles and long before the sun rains down the first rays of the starters gun. It’s 4:30am when the guides are set to zip into our treehouse to start the early march beyond this new world we find ourselves in and out the other […]
Three Swiss, two Aussies and a Brazillian walk into a jungle; sounds like the beginning of a bad joke with an even worse punchline but that’s exactly what’s happening today. My morning alarm came on the hushed whispers of Dennis and Charlie up early for a morning zip on cables strung around the jungle canopy, […]
I’ve never been so excited to jump into questionable transport, we’re piled into the back of the tuk-tuk with the Swiss and we’re off. The English twins are venturing into a different section of the jungle for just one night leaving us to the three day option, just us, the Swiss machine (Fab, Dennis and […]
