Semi nomadic parenting

This post is a “work in progress”. Please be in touch if you have any tips/ thoughts! Since our daughter was born last year, my partner and I often think about whether this spells the end for our international travels for the next 18 years, save for some 1-3 week holidays out of term time. […]

Cycle trip arranged via social media 🚲 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📱

Last week I undertook a two-day bike ride in northern Scotland to travel up to my friend’s wedding.  The whole process of getting it sorted was pretty fun, and the ride itself was incredibly enjoyable, passing a variety of terrain and affording some lovely interactions with very generous Scottish dwellers. This is a bit of […]

Finding a Decent Profile Pic in Western Canada

In a slight detour from the East Africa Business journey, I’m updating this week with what I got up to over the festive period.

12.1 and Home

Rio de Janeiro International Airport, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Monday, March 11, 2013 All my time in Brazil was spent in an airport. This is even more of a travesty than when I only saw the capital city of San Jose in 1.1 (that was a while ago wasn’t it?!). Last time I was in […]

11.8.2 Independiente v Godoy Cruz

Buenos Aires, Argentina Friday, March 8, 2013 Flares, fencing and fanatics probably sums up my second football game in the Argentinean capital. Whereas 11.8.1 had been organised through a tour agency, this time it was much more rogue. It all started in 11.3 a few weeks ago when I met Bruno at the top of […]

Buenos Aires, Argentina Monday, March 4, 2013 Almost immediately after checking into the hostel in Buenos Aires, I was out exploring the streets of the surrounding area, San Telmo looking for an Art Factory (“I thought this was about football?”) Well, the Art Factory in question was the name of a hostel. And in that […]
