My travels

Mumbai, a week in Kerala, then a thousand-plus kilometres East to a forgotten corner of the old British empire – the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Tweet North, then South – two-weeks in the Land of Smiles. Bangkok – Chiang Mai – Tha Ton – Chiang Rai  – Koh Tao – Bangkok  

A diving trip to Malapascua Island, then over to Palawan once more for a 5 day boat trip from El Nido to Coron. Mabuhay!

A mad 25-day loop around the best Islands in Indonesia and the Philippines. Bali – Flores – Lombok – Gili Meno – Palawan.

A sadly too-short 18 day first visit to Thailand to complete my PADI Open Water certification on a liveaboard crusing the Similan Islands in the Andaman sea.

My first trip to SE Asia. KL – Melaka – Singapore – Kota Kinabalu – Mount Kinabalu – Mabul

Brilliant 31-day long trip to Nepal to wander up a couple of big hills.

3 weeks’ mountain biking in the Indian Himalaya. Over the Rohtang Pass from Manali, the Northwest up the Chenab river valley before crossing Sach Pass and ending in McLeod Ganj.

A couple of weeks in California. Cycling from San Francisco South along Pacific Coast Highway One, then returning by Amtrak for a few days in a very cool city.
