Travel

Okay peeps, just like my decision to take off down under came outta almost nowhere, I can announce that I am heading back to blighty next month! I’ve had a beautiful time here, but in my gut I feel like it’s time to come back even though I haven’t managed to see alot of things…

Finally, I got to see the famous aussie rules football in action! A friend from University, Jamie, was in town and suggested we go catch a Saturday afternoon game with his team Geelong playing the local Bulldogs. The first point about the game is that it is long – each quarter is about half an…

I love hearing news like this about Finland. But as Ciaran says, “I myself think it’s well past time a satanic death metal band made it onto the European stage”.

The 12 Apostles Decided to do a road trip with my mate Karel whilst there was still some fair weather remaining down in Victoria, so we borrowed a big Nissan 4x Wheel drive Jeep and headed on over to the GOR, to see Bells Beach (think surfing) and the 12 Apostles amongst other things. Spent…

Guitar art Well, it’s been 6 months without my guitar, and now that I have a room again it just felt too weird not to have one around! So coming out the gym I went straight across the road to the local axe shop and tried a few out and got this one. Feels great,…

It’s me turning 32…eeek! Anyway, there it is, woke up and my cat was there to wish me a good day, the chillier weather made me think that I might be back in London, how strange. It’s times like these that make you think about comin back home! Still, I’m sure a few beers will…

Hmm, and I thought that after Sydney I wouldn’t have to deal with screaming kids in the house. Well I was almost right. However as I might be freelancing from home again, I have since discovered that right over the fence from my room window there is a childrens’ day nursery, full of the screaming…

My extreme bungee jump, video quality suffering for ease of download until I can compress it better!!

Hey, how exciting, you can now subscribe to this blog! Now you need never miss another installment, oh you’re so lucky 🙂 (Thanks to my cousin Samuli again for all the technical assistance on this!)

It was very hard for me to keep the blog up to date in New Zealand (which I’m actually glad about), however I did write some things down on my low-tech blog (my Moleskine diary) and I should be able to recall at least some of the highlights, so here it is: the grand account…

Barrytown Baz-Vegas, what can I say, this was a tiny coastal town on the West coast, full of colourful locals. We stayed in a guest house that had its own bar, which is always a good thing. The bar was host to an indoor cricket match on the first night, and the 2nd night the…

very soon….oh yes. But basically, I have started working for a cool little web agency here in Melbourne, getting my CSS brain cells jiggling again, and found a really cool flat with a cat and all that, except the hat.

Instead of “sweet as”. New Zealand was awesome, did not want to leave! Now I have just arrived in Melbourne, and had a really nice sunset last night as I was heading towards St Kildas beach, so i’ll take it as a good omen! Only thing is that I really don’t know where I am…

Woah! I just jumped off the Nevis Highwire bungy jump in Queenstown, NZ, and let me tell you it was pretty amazing – 134m of freefall from a suspended station above a river gorge. The feeling of jumping off that platform is indescribable, one second you are shuffling towards the edge with your feet bound…
