In the latest Friendly Friday Challenge from Sandy, purple is the subject to be thinking about. To be completely honest, of all the colours, purple is not a colour I think much about. I had always thought of purple as an "artificial" colour which also seldom occurs in nature (not true, there are many purple …
Dreaming has been difficult in the past year. One dream I've always had for the past decade was to travel. I wanted to see the world. I wanted to be walking through the highest peaks and lowest troughs of the world. I wanted to see all the animals and wonders of the world that I'd …
I have to admit, I never really understood the notion that people travel to find themselves. Finding themselves like they had lost parts that could be found. I know myself I stubbornly thought. But the more thought about it, the more I started to change my mind on this. Maybe we don't consciously make a …
Travel is not all about seeing new places, eating interesting foods and meeting new people. As with all the good things in life, it also comes with the bad things in life. Stomach bugs. I had previously written about how I discovered seasickness on my travels and the time I got eaten alive by mosquitoes …

The French ride-sharing service is alittle like Airbnb- essentially, drivers list their trip on blablacar and you can pay for a seat and be a passenger. The website has a review process where you can rate the driver and their driving skills …
Following on from the recount of my time in Mexico (last stop Guadalajara), the next stop on our Mexican adventures was to a pueblo blanco Patzcuaro. On first impressions, I thought this was the inspiration for the Pixar movie Coco from the white and red building facades. It is indeed, not the town that inspired …
Many developed countries are in the midst of a vaccine roll out and there has been chatter here and there about a so called vaccine travel passport. In these conversations, people compare it to the yellow fever vaccine passport. It seems bizarre to me that we are comparing this COVID19 vaccine which, let's face it, …

One humble evening in October 2020, I decided to go and get Maccas (or McDonalds) for dinner. Little did I know that this humble evening would lead me to the tallest building in Sydney. Maccas were running their annual monopoly game where eligible purchases means you get ticket stubs where you can potentially win free …
