A weekend in Ghent

It has been a long arduous but also frequently fun road setting up a company website, creating profiles on various guiding websites and creating and designing brochures, leaflets, business… Continue reading My First Guided Tour: Windsor Castle

To coincide with the launch of my new Travelogue book, Planes, Trains and Sinking Boats over the last few weeks I have written about my 100 must see places. I won’t call this a bucket list as I only travel to places I really want to see, crossing off a list of locations just doesn’t… Continue reading 100 Places I Want To See Before I Die Top 10
