Today I woke up with hives! [9/50]
Today I work up with hives! But I wasn’t sure that it was hives. I thought that it might be rabies. Or even Malaria. Or perhaps even Typhoid. What are the symptoms of Typhoid again? I was worried because I had spots all over me and I spent half the night scratching. I threw my…

The Island [6/50]
I first started coming to the Island when the Island was cool or was this when I was cool, not sure; surely there was a time when we both aligned. When the full moon was young, I danced on the beach to techno and trance, drank out of buckets, and slept under nets. But not…

I first came to Thailand as a young…

4 good reasons to take a sabbatical year…[4/50]
There are (hopefully) number of good reasons to take an extended sabbatical or ‘gap year’, perhaps not just once, but during key junctures in your life. Gap years are usually about the process of coming of age, of getting out there and experiencing the world before starting University or a career. They help individuals develop…

The death of a travel diary…[3/50]
An everyday discipline that I have had for the past 27 years (ouch) is keeping a daily ”travel diary”. I started this arduous task way-back in 1988 during Australias bi-centenary year. This first diary was a Christmas gift from my sister, embellished with pictures of koalas, kangaroos, gum-nuts, and celebratory bi-centenary images of Governor Phillip…
