Worldwide Backpacker and Adventure Tourism Consultant
St Anges is a hidden little treat of Cornwall. It hides away just 20 minutes from Truro, mostly eclipsed by it’s neighbour Perranporth, which leaves it naturally developed and beautiful and feeling like a true Cornish town, and not a tourist retreat. As with many of these special little town, the cost of seclusion is […]
Read More Cornwall – St AgnesSo my first trip out to the Alps in nearly 5 years was as a rep for Wasteland Ski. A company that specialises in student group snow tours, and a company I had been a customer of several times. I was flown from Gatwick to Geneva (my first time in Switzerland) to meet the transfer […]
Read More Val Thorens with Wasteland Ski – Part 1So you may know that I’m now working with both Pre-Fit Delivery and Wasteland Ski. PFD is a company that works closely with Wasteland, fitting ski and board boots to the customers before they head out to resort, meaning that on arrival they’ll be able to pick up their boots in seconds rather than waiting […]

Read More How NOT To Get A Chinese Visa In HanoiSo just the other day I went off to the glorious Swindon for training with the Pre-Fit Delivery Company. These guys provide a genius service fitting ski and snowboard boots before the customers go on holiday, so when they arrive in resort all they need to do is pick up their gear. It saves loads […]
Read More PreFit Delivery and BristolSince I returned from Ireland, and before that as well, I have worked in a Bar in Polzeath, Cornwall. A pretty little village with a great surfing beach, this is one of the slightly less know gems of Cornwalls north coast. Polzeath grew up as a fishing village, just like all of Cornwalls’ towns, but […]
Read More Cornwall – Port Isaac and PolzeathSo this might not be the most comprehensive list, as I’ve not been everywhere, but I’ve seen a few spots, and here’s my favourites 1. Queenstown, New Zealand Queenstown is probably the most tourist orientated town in the world, it’s also surprisingly small. Considering it’s fame it really is tiny, but that is because the only thing it […]
Read More Favourites – The best places in the world according to meYesterday was the first of my Cornwall exploratory trips, I had some shopping to do as well, so Truro was the obvious stop, and I followed this with a sunset down at St Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula. Truro is the only ‘city’ in Cornwall, but it’s really no bigger than most towns, but it […]
Read More Cornwall Adventure Part1: Truro & St MawesI am now back in Cornwall, living with my Dad. Not the most glamorous travel location, and certainly not brilliant as the basis for a Travel Blogging perspective. But, Cornwall is a place of incredible natural beauty, some wonderful historic buildings, and some cultural treats. Its distance from the rest of the country leaves it […]
