Gardens of Singapore

January 24, 2018 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

What comes to mind when you hear the name Singapore? For me, it’s high rises, global finance, the famed marina and, of course, that huge infinity pool overlooking the city. But, to my surprise, these were not the things I noticed when I first arrived. Instead, what caught my attention was how green and alive with plants the city was. It started directly at Changi airport, where I immediately spotted the living green wall in the arrivals hall … [Read more...]

Dave’s Dominica Taxi Service

January 21, 2018 by Dave14 Comments

I must have picked up about 15 people today with my self titled new job on the island, "Dave's Dominica Taxi service".

With bridges still out or damaged from the tropical storm in 2015 - one of the main roads was closed leaving a smaller road through the rainforest as the alternative way to get … [Read more...]

Escaping to La Brenne National Parc, France

January 16, 2018 by Steph CookeLeave a Comment

Sipping my coffee by the lake, I could just make out a tiny dark speck in the water. Eagerly grabbing my friend’s binoculars I trained them onto the black dot, and as it slowly came into focus, resembling a small beaver with a rat like tail, I realised that I was looking at a coypu… We were in La Brenne National Parc, in the Indres Department of Central France, named after the river Indre that flows through the region.

The Moroccan Sahara. A Sunset Camel Ride in Erg Chebbi.

January 14, 2018 by Pete Martin2 Comments

It has been a long day, yet one that has been extremely enjoyable. Two days in a car would not have been a preferred choice after my disastrous week of cycling in the Atlas Mountains but Mousa, my guide, has made the right calls with stops for both the sights on the way and for breaks, as well as sensing when to chat and when to leave me to doze. The further we drive - the further into the desert we go - the better the scenery. We are roughly … [Read more...]
