A couple of years ago I went on a trip to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka DPRK / North Korea). It was probably one of the most unique trips I have ever been on due to the nature of travel in the country – only a select number […]

Charlie : London 2012 Olympic Games
Charlie has spent the past few weeks helping me volunteer at the London 2012 Olympic Games. While not foreign travel he did travel all around London, and helped me in my duties driving Park Yong-Sun (The President of the Korean Olympic Committee), so think that a post here is required. […]
My Central America travel blog is online
My travel blog from my trip to Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica is finally online after much typing up over the past week. The blog is posted with each post on the corresponding day as I wrote the blog on paper while I was out there, or at least […]
The Journey Home
I’m now back in the UK after what has been a short but very sweet visit to Amsterdam and one which I’m glad I went on despite the stress caused during the planning stages. This morning we visited the Anne Frank House which was another highlight of the trip. I […]
Within Temptation Concert
This morning I had breakfast before making my way into the city to meet my friend Jonathan who lives near Amsterdam. I’ve known him for years but we’ve hardly met so while I was in Holland, even though it wasn’t the same city, we made sure we met up. We […]
Nightwish Concert
I’m back in the hotel now after a really great Nightwish gig and am completely exhausted but it has been such a great day. I rose early and headed out to the venue before my friends were awake as some people I was due to meet were already at the […]
We’ve arrived in Amsterdam
I’ve made it to Amsterdam and have found it to be a colourful and diverse city so far. Tomorrow is the day I see Nightwish but first about my journey here. Yesterday I made my way up to the Travelodge in Luton where I checked in and chilled for a […]
Back home from Uganda
I’m now home after what has been an amazing week and a bit visiting the Ekisa Orphanage in Jinja, Uganda. The visit was definitely what I needed to get a break from things and I feel it has helped me grow as a person. The journey back took quite a […]
A week at Ekisa
I’m coming to the end of what has been a great week staying at Ekisa – the kids here are great and I really like this town. Much of the time has been spent interacting with the kids at the Ekisa compound but I’ve also spent quite a bit of […]
Charlie : Uganda 2012
Charlie has just returned from his first visit to Africa and he had a good time. In addition to the short stopover at Rwanda’s Kigali Airport we spent a day in Entebbe before then travelling to the town of Jinja, which I had previously visited with Dragoman a few years […]
