Annapurna Circuit Nepal [11/50]
At the moment, I’m a place called Manang on the Annapurna Circuit in the Nepalese Himalayas. I hiked for six days to get here; it takes about 15-20 days to do the complete Circuit which involves hiking over the Thorung La Pass which at 5400 metres, it perhaps the world’s highest. It has snowed pretty…

Rishikesh pancake therapy…[10/50]
I have spent the past week in Rishikesh in the state of Uttrakhand in Northern India. It is relaxed and chilled here, a backpacker backwater of the 1960s hippy trail. The town is surrounded by mountains on either side with the clear and fast-running Ganges slithering between it connected by two wobbly suspension bridges. The…

Today I woke up with hives! [9/50]
Today I work up with hives! But I wasn’t sure that it was hives. I thought that it might be rabies. Or even Malaria. Or perhaps even Typhoid. What are the symptoms of Typhoid again? I was worried because I had spots all over me and I spent half the night scratching. I threw my…

The Island [6/50]
I first started coming to the Island when the Island was cool or was this when I was cool, not sure; surely there was a time when we both aligned. When the full moon was young, I danced on the beach to techno and trance, drank out of buckets, and slept under nets. But not…

The Happy Farang [5/50]
I purposely started my slow journey to South America in Thailand, partly because Thailand is (sort-of) close to Australia and partly because it has always been an easy segue to the rest of the world (but for many Utopian seeking libertines, it may be the only destination). I first came to Thailand as a young…
