Back in 2008 I travelled to the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It was the second time I had been to India. Far from the cultures of Europe, 'Incredible India' remains one of the most enthralling and exciting places to visit.

In 2011 I visited Ubud, Bali. The lush green rice terraces throughout the region are truly spectacular. My visit there, and the insane and hectic road traffic, reminded me of what is I love about being in Asia.
In the coming weeks I will be writing about Bali and sharing pictures of that trip on my blog. Get this post delivered directly to your email and be among the first to see this. Subscribe to my blog
Having stopped over in Singapore on my way to Australia in December 2010, I returned to the Southeast Asian city-state in September 2011 just in time to see 22 Formula One cars race around the city in the only nighttime Grand Prix. I'll be writing about this on my blog soon. Don't miss it
One of the things I find most fascinating about mankind is how different cultures across the world have come to recognize and celebrate spirituality.
If God is a creative power, then maybe when we’re not blinded by our differences, mankind’s truest reflection of God is in our ability to create. Read more
I have yet to visit mainland China, but in 2009 I celebrated my birthday in Hong Kong. Amid the soaring tower blocks and canyon like streets I wandered in a state of amazement as surely anyone who had never been to such a place would.
I travel, it's what I do. Travel with me
Thousands of Brits relocate to Australia every year. They go in search of sun, sea, and.. well, lets just leave it at that.
In 2010 I left the UK to embark on my own Australian exploration, spending more than a year 'down under.' Find out how it's going
The Great Ocean Road that threads its way along Australia's south Victorian coastline is certainly one of the most spectacular roads in Australia and probably the world.

Back in 2007 I made a memorable trip to Croatia's Istrian Peninsula with my brother who owned an apartment there. I was seduced by the beautiful and vibrant colors of the buildings in that historic region.
Two years later I returned there with my friend Becky. Check out pictures and read my account from colorful Coratia
In 2011 I purchased a van and set out on a road-trip around Australia. From Melbourne to beyond Cairns, then across to Darwin before trekking back to Melbourne through the outback via iconic Uluru and Adalaide. The trip covered thousands of kilometers and took nearly five months to complete.
Along the way, I couch-surfed, slept in my van, and learned how to live life on the wide open roads of Australia. Read more
I've never been a big fan of New York city. It's not that I don't like the place, it's just that I don't think we really get one another. I try, and maybe in the future I will, but for now I remember New York from the the pictures I took a few years ago. One day I'll return and maybe then I too will "heart" New York.

Thanks to the website couchsurfing.org a growing network of travellers from all over the world have been able to enjoy the hospitality of strangers from across the globe.
I've been a 'couch surfer' since 2008 and stayed with strangers from Italy to Japan, Australia, to Polcand. I've opened my home to many social travellers and continue to enjoy 'couch surfing' today. See couchsurfing.org
As a photographer, I always try to find an alternative way to present a scene, something beyond the usual point and click.
Searching out reflections often provides an interesting angle to see even the most mundane and everyday setting. Looking at the world inside the reflection sometimes gives you pause for a moment of reflection.
When I was a kid I sometimes used to lie on the grass in our back garden looking up at the sky, picking out objects and finding faces in the clouds as they moved in slow motion far above me.
I know they can't see me as I wave. They don't need to see me. I'm not waving for them... I'm waving for me. Waving at planes
