What I love about photography is the fact that it can take you to places you’ve never been to and open up worlds you might have never discovered yourself. A single picture can say more than a thousand words and carry more emotions than the longest love letter. Looking for this kind of inspiration, I like to sit down for a few minutes and browse the web for some visual …
Snowboarding in Norway is good.
No, really it is.
I never thought I’d type that sentence after ten years snowboarding in the Alps and only in the Alps, but yes, snowboarding in Norway is good.
Now I know what you’re thinking, you don’t believe me, so allow me to answer some of your questions.
Where did you go?
We spent five days in Hafjell as part of an extended tour of Nordic Europe. Hafjell is …
The days are getting shorter and there’s a definite chill in the air… Yes, here in the UK, it looks like winter’s here again. We’re breaking out the faux fur, shopping for winter boots, eating like hamsters preparing for hibernation and trying to get our heads round the clock change and the fact it feels like midnight at 8pm.
But instead of holing up at home in your thermals, why not …
*Sigh*. The Andaman Coast along the province of Krabi, Thailand… full of beautiful sandy beaches, warm calm turquoise waters, heat-stroke inducing sun, tropical landscapes and most magnificently, the incredible limestone geology that results in high and sporadic rugged yellowed cliffs leaping out of the ground!
What a place!
I’ve always carried fond memories of the Krabi province from my initial visit three years ago as it was the area that really got …
Stunning landscape. Amazing surf. Beautiful ladies. Awesome waves. Insane surf tricks. Incredible cinematography. I cannot think of anymore ways to describe this insanely great, short, conceptual film featuring the talented Dion Agius doing his thing in the world’s best wave pool in the Middle East’s Abu Dhabi.
Globe’s ‘Electric Blue Heaven’ portrays 7 minutes of remarkable production of Dion being unleashed on the world’s best man-made wave in the middle of …
Something I always look out for when I travel is how a particular area or city is providing for their inhabitants, in terms of cultural landscaping but also how innovative they are in creating a comfortable living space for locals and visitors alike.
During my recent visit to Queensland and the city of Cairns in particular, one of the first things that caught my attention were the daily sports …
When we travel, there is always an occasion for a drink and sometimes unhealthy delicious food. We’re on holiday after all, and need to try the country’s specialties! Trying the local food at hand and praising it to the locals is a great way to make new friends and getting to know the culture a bit better. This is not a problem if you’re gone for a shorter period, but after a …
I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know what wakeboarding was when my friend first told me she was hooked on it. When we skyped a year or so ago, she on the balcony of her apartment in Kuala Lumpur (KL), and me freezing next to the radiator in my small London flat’s kitchen, she enthused about her new love for “wakey.” I nodded and lied convincingly, “I’d love to try …
We all know the excitement of the usual surfing, wakeboarding, tobogganing, dune surfing, sledging… you name it! Anything with a board on sand or water is guaranteed to look great and feel so fun! But have you heard of doing it on ash down the side of a live volcano? A volcano in Nicaragua in Central America called Cerro Negro? The world’s most active cinder cone volcano with 23 eruptions …
Before I traveled New Zealand, I was so very sure that I would never do anything as ridiculous as a bungee jump… or a sky dive! I scoffed at the idea with thoughts of, “Why would I spend so much on something that could probably kill me?!” Little did I realise that New Zealands’ extreme-sporting-adrenaline-junkie nature would buckle my views and soon have me up in the skies, falling very …
