Things I Would Tell My Younger Self. Don’t Worry.

We would all love to go back in time & tell our younger selves everything we now know. Reassure ourselves that everything will be fine. Explain that school teaches you very little, but does prepare you for the much harsher lessons that follow in ‘real’ life. But if you could go back, what would you […]

Big Wednesdays in La Union.

My birthday was coming up & I had heard the swell back in La Union was cranking, so i took yet another freezing 10 hour bus ride back to The Circle Hostel. Arriving back in La Union made me feel slightly at home again. I walked through the hostel gates to see some familiar faces, […]

7,000 Islands, Monalisa & Ocean Giants.

The Philippines always intrigued me as I love island life, maybe I even belong on a island. But 7,000 islands to visit & I was going to be there for just a month. My usual style of travelling I had no idea of currency or even the geography of the islands. So from Hawaii I […]

The legend of ‘Matagonia’

All are pretty visible from the plane as well as the islands size. It dwarfs the other islands, but also has a powerful character, one I […]

A Week In Kauai & Finding Truth.

The Hawaii islands seem to have different characters. Oahu is like the arrogant older brother who likes to show off, where Kauai is the quiet, spiritual guy in the corner. When you arrive you get a feeling you’ve landed somewhere ancient with stories to tell. I mean 70% of the island is inaccessible by foot, […]

Aloha Oahu! Sharks, Craters & the ‘Magic Bus’

I often get asked ‘why Hawaii?’ Other than its undeniable beauty & perfect surf. Well it’s always been a place I’ve admired on TV & in Movies even since I was real young. I always new it would be a place for me, then I arrived…

Gone For Milk…My Story

I always remembered as a teen me & my friends would joke around saying “one day I’m going to go for milk & just keep going”. In my early twenties this statement slowly became an excuse to travel.
