Kombi Crusaders – Part 2

Before travelling to Portugal, I had always imagined that the water temperatures would be pretty inviting as the country has a very similar climate to ours back home in Oz. However, after taking my inaugural splash down on Portugal’s West coast, the atlantic ocean quickly proved my theory to be a complete and utter fail. Note to self: …

Kombi Crusaders – Chapter 1

In Portugal, Nat and I were delighted to be introduced to Fern, a 70 years young Kombi who had agreed to give us the grand tour of the Algarve, the bottom portion of the beautiful Portugal. We spent one week galavanting around this raw and beautiful terrain, usually twisting our way around the rugged coastline.  …

My number one travel buddy

I’ve been travelling around Europe with my beautiful girlfriend Natalie for almost a year now. And what an amazing year it has been. From snowmobiling on mountainous glaciers in Iceland in sub 20 degree temperatures, to our more recent stint in the Sahara Desert, Morocco sleeping under the stars and in the middle of sandstorms. …

Little Bits of Biarritz

We spent one short but sweet week in one of France’s most most well known tourist destinations which goes by the name of Biarritz. It has a rich history with its more wealthy customers, but in more recent times, the place has been earning a whole new rep, as one of France’s most epic surfing …

Fun in the San Sebastian sun

There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about San Sebastian. The place really has it all; delicious food, fun surf, friendly locals, pumping nightlife and an infinite amount of photo opportunities. We spent one amazing week in San Seb, and by the end I was ready to settle down and start scouring the rental …

Back to the future in Bilbao

To be completely honest, I did absolutely no research on the city of Bilbao. All I knew is that we were headed to this small Spanish city for the music festival BBK Live (which I also knew nothing about). This is not the way I like to arrive in a new destination, as this will …

Running Of (From) The Bulls – Pamplona

Well it was madness to say the least. 650kg bulls hurtling their way down the narrow cobblestone streets of Pamplona. What makes it even more nuts is that they’re just trying to get away (and probably scared shitless) from the hoards of local men and drunken tourists who attempt to run along with these sacred …

Last Days Of London

I’ve had mixed emotions about these last few weeks. Part of me has has wanted time to slow down, as there is still lots which I feel like I haven’t done. The other part has wanted time to speed on by so I can get cracking on the exciting European Summer trip which Nat and …

Flat Out on the Isle Of Man TT

Incase you didn’t know I’m a bit of a motorhead, especially when it comes the two-wheeled variety. This week I had the amazing opportunity to spend the day at one of the greatest and most dangerous motorcycle races in the world – The Isle Of Man TT.  Now I like going fast, and from time to time I “may …

Pink Elephants on Brighton Beach!

Okay so there’s no Pink Elephants…There also wasn’t a heatwave in Brighton like we were promised two weeks ago either. Go figure.  Apart from the missing heatwave (which I’m clearly still bitter about), we had an amazing time in Brighton. In fact, if I had my time over again I probably would have moved there, instead …
