Train in Vain

November 29, 2016

It’s not exactly ground-breaking satire to complain about National Rail. Anyone who has ever experienced rush-hour commuting will undoubtedly have the words ‘we are sorry for any inconvenience caused’ tattooed across their heart, and will be so accustomed to functioning in intensely overcrowded conditions that even an armpit directly across the face is not enough to deter the devouring the Metro’s ‘guilty pleasures’ section.

Desert Island Discord

October 18, 2016

I think it’s best to start this blog by expressly stating that I am not ashamed of listening to Radio 4. Although on some occasions one does have to genuinely question whether the station’s producers are earnestly trying to create the most knuckle-bitingly boring program ever conceived by man

Since late 2005, the world of visual content has been dominated by one name only – YouTube. As much as young guns such as Periscope, Instagram and Snapchat have made many a noble challenge for the title over the years, the power of YouTube is more potent than ever in 2016.

TEN-DAY THAILAND: CAN I STILL BACKPACK AT 26? (PART 2)
February 10, 2018

The one glaring difference between the nature of my backpacking adventures of yore, and this trip (aside from its duration), was the fact that this time I would be accompanied by an experienced resident of the country in question. This, in my head at least, would mean we could swan about unchecked and fancy-free, chatting, laughing and generally endearing ourselves to locals wherever we set foot, employing a combination of Rachel's insider knowledge and Thai linguistic skills, and my.... general presence.

The Berlin bus of bants seemed like a beautiful breeze compared to our outbound journey, and Tash and I were gifted many an hour of calm for podcast bingeing, upright napping and quality chats.

The bus to Krakow was, thankfully, a lot less eventful than its predecessors, involving only a bizarre communal film and several hours of roadworks.

Born from a heady mixture of climate consciousness and self-castigation, two weeks ago myself and my good friend Tasha found ourselves at Victoria Coach Station, waiting to catch a bus to Krakow, Poland.
