Having never witnessed this sport in action before, I didn’t know what to expect. I knew before my arrival in the town, that it was a windy destination. Where there is wind and a beach, there is sport. The best kitesurfing paradise in Tarifa Spain is what I found on the Atlantic Ocean. Winds There …

There is no shortage of places to walk, hike and exercise around Tarifa. This southern most coastline in Spain is full of trails, both human and animal. Everywhere I wander, outside of town, I find a criss-cross of paths and never know where they may lead. Hike to the cannons of a Spanish Battleship Jamie …
I love old towns, they exude a sense of history, contain interesting and beautiful architecture and have a special atmosphere that I find missing from a modern setting. I am grateful to have found a gem along the southern Spanish coastline. Get lost with me in the streets of old Tarifa and discover magical vistas. …

One travel tradition that I have is to visit at least one cemetery in each destination. Not only do these spaces provide me with a peaceful respite, but they offer me a glimpse into the culture and beauty of the area. I discovered the unique San Fernando Cemetery in Seville only a short walk away …

Driving from the airport in Denpasar and arriving at my Airbnb in Ubud was a huge shock to the system. Especially after being in Japan for the past month. Could I have picked a more different place? Here are my first impressions of Bali Indonesia. Chaos From the moment I left the airport in my …
A must for me while travelling to a new destination is always to visit a market. Having been in Osaka and seeing all that was available there, I was curious as to what I could find here. The bountiful Nishiki market in Kyoto was even better! Brief History As early as the year 782, fish …
I don’t usually write posts like this, but after spending a few weeks exploring this area and these towns, I just can’t get this off my mind. Try as I might I am struggling to find beauty here in the towns. Phuket has an undercurrent of sleaze, and although its arguably at its worst in …
With how much I love flowers, one might have thought that I would have experienced a flower market before.

Location …
Needing some fresh vegetables when I arrived into the city, my first stop was a market that was reasonably close to walk back from with a heavy load. From my google search, I settled on one outside of the Old City, but only a 20-minute walk from my Airbnb. I found the unique eats & …
One thing I was surely not expecting….at all, was to find graffiti and street art in the Old City of Chiang Mai Thailand. I’m not sure why I had formed this impression? Perhaps because I thought this public form of art would be discouraged in the historic city. What I have found is entirely the …
