Egypt (Part 1) – Hurghada, Makadi, Snorkelling and Kissing a Cobra

Indoor Sky-diving with my family!
Anyone who is a regular reader, will know that the event that kicked off my bucket list was my charity sky-dive for the hospice who cared for my Dad, Nick.

Thailand (Part 7) Patong, Bangla Road and Lady Boy Shows!
Thailand is famous for it’s beautiful Lady Boys or ‘Kathoey’ (pronounced: Kat-oo-ee), or transgender gay men. This is so common in Thailand, compared to other countries, that in fact Thai’s see them as a third gender category, and there is even talk of introducing this into the Thai passport system. I have always thought I […]

GUEST POST: Why You Might Not Want to Ride an Elephant, After All
