So far the road trip across Europe has been wildly success. We’ve visited 13 countries so far and accumulated over 2,500 miles on my brand new car (never before used before this trip). I’m writing this post from an apartment which we are renting in Albania, where four of us are staying, but the journey …
I moved out of home at the age of 18. After graduating high school I left my hometown of Bendigo and relocated to Melbourne to attend Melbourne University. It wasn’t a bold or courageous step – to me, it was just the next step that most students from my high school took in their life. […] …

A little while ago I wrote a blog post answering what was then the most popular question posed to me; “why are you in a wheelchair?”. If you’d like to see my answer, you can do so by clicking HERE! There’s now a new question which is possibly overtaken the previous as my new most …

Wherever I go in the world I’m always on the lookout for companies that specialise in adapted vehicles. Since getting rid of my car in the back end of 2013 I’ve spent the majority of the past year and a half relying heavily on public transport. For the most part, it’s fine, but sometimes you yearn …

I’ve been a bit preoccupied with a whole host of different things, from University assignments, to exams, to side projects and writing jobs – which has all meant my blog has been put on the back-burner for a little while… but not any more! It’s ironic that the advice I …
I’d like to take a moment to commend the folks at Sydney Trains (www.sydneytrains.info) for the impeccable service they provided me. Whilst staying in Sydney, my friend and I were living with a Vietnamese couple out in Carramar – which is around an hours commute from Sydney City Centre. On one particular day when visiting Manly …
I’m so glad that you guys are unable to smell me right now as I sit here in Muscat International Airport because to put it frankly; I absolutely stink. It’s rather fitting that I’m on the last leg of my journey and heading back to the UK, as I really am beginning to look a …
The past couple of days have been a little difficult – saying goodbye to the good friends you’ve made isn’t fun. Someone told me that the more times you say goodbye to people that briefly come into your life, the easier it gets, but I beg to differ. In just two and a half short …
What would you say if you were offered a puff pastry filled with a lemon and blueberry cupcake, some barbecue sauce, fresh garlic, mustard, jalapeños, white chocolate, dark chocolate, rum essence, sugar and corn chips? You know what I say? Yummy! About a month ago I was searching for cafes in Wellington that served sweet vegan treats. I …
I’m not a shy guy to say the least. If there’s anything that travelling the world in my wheelchair has taught me it’s that you’ve got to throw down those inhibitions, ignore those glaring stares and just embrace life by the big fat testículos. So after speeding off to Cheung Chau island on what happened …
