Earlier this year, I spent a few sunny and totally chilled out days on Tenerife at Twin Fin Surf & Yoga Camp. I got a lift from Los Cristianos ferry port, a little way up the west coast with the manager, Antonio. He’s a super guy, really friendly and easy to get along with. The […]

The amazing tropical fruit in Thailand
One of the topics that people will always bring up when you mention a trip to Thailand is the food. And for good reason. Not only is eating out affordable, it is also absolutely delicious. The variety of food found in restaurants, sold at markets and on the streets is staggering. You’ll always be able to find space […]
How to get to Ko Samui from Bangkok
For newbies to Thailand, I would describe Ko Samui as a pretty, tourist island on the south of the Gulf of Thailand. Expect coconut trees, calm bays and that clear seas. That clear water that you see in postcard photos. The island is particularly touristy in summer is because it’s toasty hot, humid and sunny in […]
200 Hour Yoga Teacher’s Training
In the spirit of adventure and for the love of yoga, I booked return tickets to Delhi, India for a 200 hour Yoga Teacher’s Training Course in Rishikesh earlier this year. The town is based near the Himalayas and the source of the Ganges, in the north of India. Rishikesh is known as the World […]
Patna Waterfall, Rishikesh
As one of our Sunday outings from Rishikesh Yog Peeth in northern India, we took a drive along the Ganges to start a green uphill hike to the beautiful Patna Waterfall. The hike didn’t take longer than 2 hours, return. However, it was quite steep at times. PACK If you’re hiking in the rainy season, […]
Cows of Rishikesh
It was on my first trip to India for a Yoga Teacher’s Training Course that I encountered the cows. Even if you’ve never been to India, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard about the holy cows that live on the streets at their leisure. Nothing can really quite prepare you for the casual amount of cows […]
Packing for an Intercontinental Flight
Packing for a flight can be a tad challenging. It’s all about the little things. If you forget something small it could make your flight feel quite a bit longer – ugh. Being the right temperature on a flight is one of those things. Have you ever been too cold on a flight? I find […]
Street Food in Rishikesh
I was in India in March and April for a Yoga Teacher’s Training Course. The weather was great and there were very few flies or mosquitoes but I missed out on mango season. Even so there was still so much juicy fruit available to buy in the streets of Rishikesh! Chai is a daily necessity and sampling […]
Faces of Rishikesh
In March I went to Rishikesh in the north of India to do a 200 hour yoga teachers training course at Rishikesh Yog Peeth. I took my camera with me of course and took some time to practise some portraiture. My photography style is usually quite sneaky and un-intrusive so it was good for me to practise […]
A Guide to La Palma
Last month we left the rain of Cork behind and headed out to the Canary Islands for a sunshine adventure! I was blown away by the natural beauty and diversity of these islands – even though I didn’t get to seeing them all. I’ve put together a guide to La Palma, my favourite island, for […]
