Times Square : New York
Sometimes there is no blog. Sometimes I’m taking too much in visually, in the rain, to sit down and write anything. So, here I am enjoying a little walk around … Continue reading
Panda Porn and Umbrella Rage
Walking twelve blocks in the rain to drop my backpack down, to then spend much of next hour trying to find a food stand which didn’t have a cue of … Continue reading
Bam! New York, Baby!
Six months away from ‘Merica, and I’m back for more. After being delayed seven hours and enduring an always slightly turbulent re-entry into the states (and I don’t only mean … Continue reading
Starting out again…
I’m supposed to be in the sky, but even though leaving England maybe imminent, I’m having to wait just a little longer for my next big adventure. “It’s not the … Continue reading
2014 in review

I’m not a politician…but here’s a closing speech
I feel like I should buy a political horse and take it for quite an epic ride for my next adventure (that’s right, there is already a “next one”). So … Continue reading
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow, by evading it today. Abraham Lincoln

I was informed that the journey between New Orleans and Austin would be different from all others which I had experienced across the USA. For miles and miles there is … Continue reading
Snakes, Zombie farms and rather a lot about Voodoo
In New Orleans, I added my cultured yet extremely un-mingled racial profile into the hot pot of muddled human history. Choctaw and Houmas were the main Native American Indian tribes, … Continue reading
Wearing a loin cloth…and getting evicted
Frankly, the shopping mall is not exactly my first location choice when I have only €6 and one large coffee to last several hours. It may have been entertaining to … Continue reading
Schoolgirl in the desert, dinosaurs and a hammer
After abusing Starbucks’ wifi privileges in Jackson WY, it was time to skip town. Just a few hours of volume in a populated area was enough to make me slightly … Continue reading
A few worries, over a Watery Beast, and a land of corn

Mistakes, Mistakes, and Burning A Pensioner’s Dreams
While travelling, it is sometimes important to keep abreast of the most important world news, so before leaving Columbus, I managed to catch up on a few episodes of Game … Continue reading
Second Thoughts

Dirty boy, a few extra owls and pleasing Gran
The festivities are well behind us, or at least it feels that way, as a few work colleagues and I are alcohol free for January for Cancer Research Uk – … Continue reading
Arguing, thieving and ruining Christmas
This recent Christmas I witnessed a man having an ear-battering argument in the supermarket. Normally, a small disagreement and well structured case can often bring around a final decision in … Continue reading
Queuing for Freedom, a bald eagle, wotsits and Brian
I will try not to make a habit of writing so much. A rather long blog this time…but, so was the experience. American & Roman: Symbol of Strength, Power, Freedom … Continue reading
