Gili Air, Indonesia (06.08.2013) Spent the day doing what people come to Gili Air to do – reclining in the sun, swimming in the sea, eating at sand-floored restaurants. Lazy days.

Tioman Island, Malaysia (19.04.2013) I’m staying in paradise. 15 steps from my door to the water’s edge. Monkeys in the trees. Monitor lizards mosey by. Cats everywhere. And tepid ocean at my doorstep. Today an Ozzie climbed the coconut tree … Continue reading →
