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 […]
Los Cristianos
If you arrive at Tenerife via ferry, you’ll be familiar with the touristy town of Los Cristianos. This town used to have such a small population that they couldn’t afford a castle or fort and so they were continuously raided by pirates, keeping the population down. A lot has changed in the last few hundred years as industries […]
San Sebastián de la Gomera
When I happened to go to San Sebastián de la Gomera, it was siesta time (between 2pm and 5pm) so it felt a lot like a quiet Sunday. I recommend visiting well before 2pm and checking the place out in the evening as well. It’s a lovely little town to explore and chill out. If […]
La Gomera
For a about a week, I worked remotely on the island of La Gomera at a little place in a barranco called La Mangita. I had a little apartment to myself with views over the valley, mountains, trees and the cliffs from my balcony. To maximise my daylight hours, I woke up at sunrise and […]
Playa Neuva, La Palma
Apparently the other name for this brand new beach is Echentive Beach. The beach was formed after the 1971 eruption of Mount Teneguía and that’s what makes it, along with many of the rocks there just about fifty years old. You can access the beach quite easily by trail or car, and the drive is really […]
Tazacorte, La Palma
When the sun starts to near the horizon in the late afternoon, making your way to the west of La Palma for sunset is definitely a great idea. To watch the sun set from a height, go to Tazacorte town and grab a drink from a local cafe to enjoy outside. The town also has […]
Cubo de la Galga, La Palma
This beautiful hike takes you through a variety of different mountain-valley landscapes. The forest is home to the tall, stately Canary laurel tree (they grow up to 25 meters) which earned the name “the ebony of the Canaries” because of the colour of the wood. The trees were used to make plenty of furniture and as […]
