. . . If my archival retrospectives are accurate, it has been fifteen years since Burgh Island first rose above Bigbury's on sea curves for a slow-but sure-burning 14 year old. Since that time, the majestic isle and it's breathtaking surroundings have set stage to poignant memories and inspired scars of incomparable bliss (and even [...]
. . . CAPO D'ORLANDO Seven risings, seven moments of awe and contemplation from a remote villa, perched on a hill-side overlooking Capo D'Orlando (North-East Sicily) . CEFALU Mediterranean sun flows through intimate, sloping cobblestone streets Alone in stillness The old town oozes an humble charm and intrigue, ideal for exploration! Getting a little carried [...]
. . . An understanding ever-deepening with passions old and new igniting from whence we last parted. A long-distance affair, maturing whilst maintaining a fresh and zesty air, much like a decent Vinho Verde. This city continues to willingly unfold and entice the further I saunter into it's raw underbelly. An unassuming and proud mistress. [...]
. . . It's been almost two years since I last let my feet loose on unfamiliar streets with camera in hand. Perhaps it shows? Much can develop, or indeed, regress during a dormant period. In my case, expectations and knowledge levels have risen, however application by which to achieve them may have stagnated. But [...]

. . . These initial weeks in Siem Reap form the longest period of productivity and focus I've spent abroad. Devoting much of my time to a temporary photography gig, taking stock images and capturing social media for a local organisation called Senhoa. They are a small but remarkable team dedicated to responsibly empowering woman [...]
. . . Angkor is a marvel of the ancient world that draws increasing millions from across the globe every year. They come to witness it's historical architectural splendour, fathom it's extraordinary scale and explore it's mystical and unique temple complex... So I guess it was probably worth being woken up at 4:50 for the [...]
. . . . Thanks to experienced first-hand accounts from two members of ACF (one of half a dozen NGOs working on-site at Chuchepati) we would later learn of the true scale of this Internationally Displaced Persons camp. As we wandered through the sea of white, eyes dotting between an occasional crest of blue, we [...]
. . . A trip out to Bhaktapur was initially skipped on the 'to see/do' priority list and had somehow eluded my plans through out my stay in Nepal. Perhaps surprisingly so, as it is one of the more visited sites of the Kathmandu Valley. Popular for it's inter-winding cobblestone streets of impressively preserved medieval [...]
. . . Rob and I were determined to squeeze in another trip before our respective departures from Nepal. Practical and wishful investigation lead us to Chitwan National Park. It was not only the obvious choice, but one that would take us to a new, personally-uncharted territory of this naturally diverse piece of the world. [...]
