And so it ends…

Posted on July 21, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Boats, Photoblog, Top Experiences, Travel tips.I have crossed the ocean and arrived in Belgium – Wooo! Once I have posted this I can go eat chocolate and waffles and drink beer! – Double Wooo!

A Grand Sunset…
Posted on July 6, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Arizona, Photoblog, Top Experiences, USA.I would guess that most people go to the Grand Canyon with, well grand expectations – I suppose I was somewhat the opposite of that – my expectations were actually reasonably low having previously been to the similarly massive Copper Canyon in Mexico, which I was able to get to easily by public transport and […]

A year of travel!
Posted on March 6, 2015 by noflytri in Photoblog, Top Experiences.So today, the 6th March 2015, marks 1 year from when I boarded a Eurostar at London St Pancras and left the UK behind. At the time the plan was just to get to Japan and back. And to be back by Christmas… Obviously things changed a bit since then – in a weeks time I […]

Burmese Sunsets…
Posted on January 24, 2015 by noflytri in Burma/Myanmar, Photoblog, South East Asia, Top Experiences.Having just left Burma/Myanmar, and having just relaunched my blog, I thought I’d mark the occassion by sharing some of my favourite sunset photos from my time in Burma/Myanmar.

Beautiful and terrifying – Getting active in Cat Ba Island
Posted on November 13, 2014 by noflytri in Adventure, South East Asia, Sport, Top Experiences, Travel tips, Vietnam.Having high expectations of a place when travelling is always a dangerous thing. So often you can build something up to the point that the reality has no way of meeting the illusion you have created in your mind. Often for me, I will arrive at a place to find that an over abundance of […]
