I’m in Lisbon, I have no money, I want..need a job, I don’t mind all the free time I have, but I do need money badly. Sometimes I go out for walks and resist the temptation to buy….anything really. I buy nice food though, always like to eat well. I printed off a load of …

Finally!
So, finally I felt like writing again, the last time i wrote was…(just checking the date on my last meaningful post…)….was..2010/11/10! That was last year in Kathmandu, when I saw Kumari, a little girl that they think is a Goddess. So in 8 months I didn’t really do much on this site, I will vow …
Kathmandu and the Shree Kumari Festival
Kathmandu! What to do in Kathmandu! Well quite a few things can be done in Kathmandu, since it seemed like every other day, and sometimes, everyday, was a festival! Being cynical I could say that festivals are there to keep the masses entertained and distracted from real issues, but putting a nice light on it …
Bandipur
Now that I’m in Manchester I have access to 24 hour high speed internet, and also I have access to a much faster computer so I can edit photographs at high speeds. So I plan to put more photo’s here over the next weeks, if I don’t its because i’m lazy. All of these photographs …
Nepal and India are different countries.
Nepal and India are very different countries, going to a new country always surprises me, I wouldn’t have thought that Nepal was that different to India, it’s right next to it, you just hop across a land border that isn’t very strict, the first place I went too could actually have been India, but now …
Vipassana:-in the Buddhist tradition means insight into the nature of reality.
So I did the retreat, and I found it very difficult, but very interesting upon reflection and very rewarding. My mind cycles very very quickly, and I have been aware for a long time that I need a lot of stimulation to keep it interested, so the difficulty came when i removed all stimulation’s! Its …
Arrival to Nepal.
So now I am in Nepal. There was some mild relief upon arrival as I was in India with a visa extension that I grew more and more dubious about, especially when I heard the lawyer that helped me obtain it had been arrested for making false visa extensions. On the border though they didn’t …

Dharamsala To Ladakh, a life affirming bus journey and a look at stillness.
I have just been completed one of the most amazing journeys I have been on. It lasted 4 days, it spanned temperatures from 45c to below 0, from a few hundred meters above sea level to heights that impede breathing. However, despite all this a major highlight of the journey was the feeling that the …
Rishikesh and the Kumbah Mellah
Another post! Hurrah for me! Hurrah for all you people who read this site! I’m sorry for letting you all down and not posting as much as I used too. My dad left me a message displaying his disappointment at me for not posting more, something along the lines of “you let us all down …
Radio silence over
After 4 months of not writing, even totally neglecting emails I finally feel like writing again. I think something jarred my mind a bit which made writing not so appealing. I think it has to do with my sudden passion for juggling, and then a huge passion for drawing swept me up, I have been …

Last night I got back to my room around 2am, closed my windows and as I turned around I saw a snake coming in my room under the door. panic. Later I knew I panicked because I didn’t even think to take pictures of it, I just wanted it out of my room. I opened …
A market of birds.
After sweltering stinking noisy Jakarta, where I sheltered in my room most of the time, arriving in Yogyakarta was a relief. The temperature was much more agreable, there was less trafic, and it had some charm, something which Jakarta lacked, or maybe hid very well. Share this:EmailFacebookPrintStumbleUponDiggReddit
Gili Islands
I didn’t even know I was going to go to the Gili Islands, Islands that I had heard of before and nearly went to 8 years ago. They have always been on my mind as the prospect of being able to live on an island that you can walk around in about one hour seemed …

A while ago me and Jules went for a walk up a volcano, we met two young ladies from England who were also going up, so we formed a group. Share this:EmailFacebookPrintStumbleUponDiggReddit
Bungus to Medan around there a bit, leaving friends making new ones, meeting old ones, on and on I travel along.
From Sumatra with friends to Java alone, and then onto Bali with family. As usual I have been covering ground whilst changing company, this type of living creates the most wonderful memories, segmented by the places I have been and by the company I kept. I figured it was about time I digitised some of …
