Hoi An – Poetry Without Words
Hoi An. Vietnam’s very own laid back beach paradise. Caught between an ever emerald expanse of rice fields, lush countryside and white sandy beaches—with water that never seems to cool to anything less than hot tub temperature—perhaps you can start to see why out of all the places in SouthRead More
A Perfect Day In All Its Imperfections
Here I sit on the Wadi Araba border, just on the other side of the Yitzhak Rabin crossing, not quite in Jordan and no longer in Israel. We are here now nearly an hour. Why? Well, it turns out that Dad’s Jordan Pass has a problem and since the embassyRead More

I first saw York from the car window. An instant in between passing trees, road signs and traffic lights. A glimpse. I’d seen York before. In my dreams. Through books I’d read and stories I’d loved, through history passed down through the eyes of those who’d called York their homeRead More

With India As My Teacher…
India. The vibrant, rainbow jewel of the east. When the word India alights my tongue I can hear the language. I can see the sun. I can feel the adrenaline. Together, in my eyes, it is beauty. A thrill of exhilaration, eclipsed by a crescendo of flower petals, falling toRead More
Jaisalmer – The Dream of a Desert
As the train pulled into Jaisalmer station in the hour before dawn, the platform was already showing the tell-tale signs to the start of a new day. People were already abuzz inside the station going about their everyday business and yet somehow, Jaisalmer seemed to lack the frenetic energy andRead More
Delhi’s Dilli Haat – A Gem In The Artisan’s Crown
Delhi. The buzzing, vibrant capital city in India’s North. A metropolis of the modern on one side and the epitome of old on the other. While the number of travellers that grace India during the year are in the millions, many, be it because of business, time, or otherwise, neverRead More
