I have missed trains, missed meetings and once slept on a bench because a last minute stoppage time goal kept me rooted to a terrace until dawn.

I didn’t really think about it properly until I had a stop in Las Vegas. You get off … [Read more...]
Untamed Paradise: Exploring the Galápagos Islands
The Galapagos islands have long been on my radar, but a visit has so far eluded me. There are few places left in the world that I'm certain feel so untouched. The Galápagos Islands located roughly 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador—are certainly one of those places.
