A-dam Underwear has had some brilliant and innovative marketing ideas over the years, whether it’s with photos or videos to prove they can ‘meet the modern man’s needs with designer boxers‘. They are no stranger to publicity stunts either. But when they did a photo shoot of a man, being pulled on a wakeboard behind…
Prague is a city that’s been high on my European ‘Weekenders’ list for a while, and by weekender I mean somewhere accessible from the UK on a budget airline, that isn’t too expensive, has a lot going on but is small enough that you can tick a lot off in one carefully planned weekend. Enter…
It’s not every day you wake up and have to rub your eyes a few extra times, splash your face, even slap yourself round the face, just to make completely sure you’re not dreaming. It’s not every day you wake up in paradise, in a Royal Villa built on stilts over the ocean, overlooking the…
As I sit in a queue of traffic leaving Boomtown, jaded and blurry eyed, watching the last few zombie-like people staggering around, I can’t help but ask myself… What the hell just happened? I’m not talking about piecing together the night before on a hangover. I’m trying to take in what has been one of…

“I paused to look at my watch, I wanted the hands to freeze, so I could stay in this moment for longer. I took a deep breath, the freshest mountain air I’ve tasted, it felt like I was on the top of the world” Do you think I was in Jasper or Banff? You’ll find…
“There’s no place I’d rather be” The words beautifully sung from the stage behind me by UK chart toppers Clean Bandit. As I happily snapped photos of the crowd from the ‘Press Pit’ I couldn’t help but stop for a moment and agree. The sun set perfectly in the distance on day two of the…

During a round the world trip in 2011, I followed the route most backpackers take in Australia and headed up the East Coast. It’s a well-trodden path and with highlights like Fraser Island, the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach it’s easy to see why. Most of us spend the majority of it in the…
There are a handful of places you visit when backpacking through South East Asia that truly surprise you. You stumble across them by accident, and they weren’t on your initial itinerary.
