‘I love diving but I don’t think I ever look as happy as I see you when I look at your eyes underwater!’ Deco Joe, to me. I looked down, and there it was; through the hundreds of spawning red snapper - my first Bull Shark. Unmistakable with its square snout and thick, sturdy body, …
Having the dorm to myself again I did a little yoga, drank some crap coffee and ate my weetabix mush before heading off to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. An easy twelves stops away from the JR station by my hostel I was 30 minutes later, there, staring up at this huge apocalyptic style building. I suppose …
Seeing a hardcore band in Japan was on my wish list of things to do during my time living back in Asia. So when Earth Crisis & Sect announced their Japanese tour it felt like a gift I couldn't refuse. I’d never had any real desire to visit the Japanese capital, and I’d heard Osaka was …
Refilling my water bottle mid Muay Thai class at Warrior I saw a poster on the wall for a group trip to a camp in Phuket. In that split second I decided that I should go train in Thailand, and dedicated that night to finding out where. Although Phuket is famous for its Muay Thai …

Komodo is know for its crazy strong currents. So, despite wanting to go, due to my fear of strong currents I never thought I would. But incredible pictures kept popping up on my feeds; not just of the underwater life, but the surrounding islands too. Girls That Scuba hosted a liveaboard there, and it seemed …
I don't know much about what triggers other people - but this post is about my experience during a period of my life (around 2009) living with panic attacks and anxiety, so if it might trigger you - best not read it. Fear. Am I a fearful person? Sometimes. Does it matter? Sometimes. There are …
A few months ago I was sat on the Airport Express bus going home. Crossing Tsing Yi Bridge I looked down and saw, tucked away on the side of what looked like a small, but pretty affluent island, an abandoned village. I wanted to go there! Social media to the rescue! Took a picture, asked …
