Abandoned Places: In Langkawi
I’ve just passed my year anniversary in Malaysia due to COVID and it’s shortly coming up to my 5 month anniversary in Langkawi. I still can’t quite believe it! Langkawi is a beautiful archipelago of 99 islands, or 104 if it’s low tide, situated on the north west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It’s also South […]
Abandoned Places: Wanli the UFO resort
Back to abandoned places for this week’s isolation blog! This place is one of my most favourite finds, in one of my most favourite countries (if we disregard my vegetarian food struggles). An abandoned UFO resort in Taiwan! I spent 10 days in Taiwan back in 2017 and have since been back for a cheeky […]
5 Abandoned Theme Parks Around The World
When it comes to visiting abandoned places, I’ve realised I have a re-occurring type of place I like to explore. Theme parks! My interest was sparked simply from watching the action film Hanna. It was the final scene, an exhilarating chase through a decrepit theme park that did it for me. I think it was […]
Abandoned Places: Bulgarian-Soviet Friendship Monument, Varna
If you caught up with my last post about visiting Buzludzha Monument in Bulgaria, this is the one I was meant to write but I got a bit distracted by trying to explain away why I swapped palm trees for concrete. RELATED: Abandoned Places: Buzludzha Monument So, back to present day! Well, almost…. I started […]
Abandoned Places: Buzludzha Monument
After almost a year travelling around tropical climates I decided I wanted (or possibly more like I needed) to swap the palm trees and paradise islands for a completely different look – the look and use of concrete! We’re talking about socialist monuments, ex-soviet relics, brilliant brutalist specimens – yep, I’m back in Eastern Europe. […]
Visiting Bond Villain Lairs
When I set off on my travels round the world one thing I wasn’t expecting was to end up visiting not one, but two Bond Villain Lairs! You know how they always look so exotic and remote? Earlier this week news went viral of Sir Roger Moore’s passing. With this in mind I thought now […]
London Walks: Parklands
A 5 mile walk in North London on a rainy Good Friday you say? Why not! With non stop rain, I had this wonderful walking route almost all to myself, bar a few crazy runners and some dogs that seemed to like muddy puddles a little too much. From the 1860s a train line ran […]
London: Hidden Tunnels
I grew up within the commuter belt of London so from an early age Dad use to bring me up to “town” to see the London sights in the school holidays. From 16 I started coming up to London with my friends, at 23 I moved to London and 17 years later I’m still here. […]
2017 Year in Review
2017 has been a busy year full of travel and self discovery but sadly very little blogging. That’s one New Year resolution made… The start of 2017 was marred by sickness and being diagnosed with a fatty liver disease. Completely reversible but a lifestyle change needed to happen immediately. I have been sober for 8 […]
