Return to the Philippines

Return to the Philippines

My Return to The Philippines

After many years, I have returned to the Philippines. The last time I was in this stunning country was in 2013 when the horrendous hurricane Haiyan, known by the locals as Yolanda struck Leyte Island leaving destruction in its wake. I was volunteering so consequently I didn´t get to really see much of the country.

On a whim, and in much need of getting away to…

Helping at the Flood Relief Thailand

Helping at the Flood Relief Thailand

2011 I went to lend a helping hand to the Flood Relief that has been set up at the old part of the  Don Muang airport outside the city of Bangkok.

What was amazing (although in many ways unsurprising) was to see how the Thai community were all so united together in helping and pledging their support to the flood victims. The atmosphere was incredible with people of all age groups from very…

Just to make every one of you die of a massive dose of green-eyed monster.. today I went for a wonderful hair wash in one of the many salons here in George Town Penang. Malaysia.

Now I know what you are all thinking.. “A hair wash? – that’s no big deal” Ah ha that is because you have never had your hair washed in Asia!…

This morning I explored the maze of backstreets of this unbelievable city New Delhi. So many awesome sights to see! I got lots of stares and gawks from the locals and I did wonder at one point if it was a problematic zone! When my gut instinct said "Go back" that's what did. Anyway I got some good shots 👍😊 #instagood #travel #travelblogger #newdelhi #newdelhiindia #loveindia#worldtravelbook #aw #amazing #worldwildlifefund #travelling #happy

Today was just fantastic, this was taken very near the Marari beach in Kerala India. The fisherman are finishing their day by checking their catches and preparing their nets for the following day.

Today was a very sad day. I went to see the elephants. I had been told I could ride them, to which I bluntly refused. I just wanted to go and say hello since I truly love these magnificent creatures. I could have cried, there they all were with heavy chains around their feet and round their neck. It was one of those moments when I felt so helpless because there was nothing I could do to help them. I started to walk towards one of them and at the same time telling him softly that I was so sorry that I couldn’t help him. He started to try and walk towards me and reach out to me with his trunk. In that instance the keeper immediately told me not to go any further. I stopped but I felt that this beautiful animal understood every word I said to him. “I doubt very much if he would have hurt me, because he knew I wouldn’t hurt him. When will man ever learn😢
