Oslo; first impressions. Green, calm and clean. It's so nice to have arrived at the Oslo airport which smelled of popcorn and looked like a stylish entrance to a sauna, all glass and wood and light. This was a contrast after the awful mayhem of ... Read more >

Huh... who'd have thunk it? I'd find myself in Oslo presenting to a global eco-tourism conference, drawing on work experience but also travel tales near and far, to piece together an angle on a complex world. I met some great people and wonder if ... Read more >

Arriving in Oslo from from Shanghai the jet-lag and dubious British Airways sandwich on the leg from London left me wanting to vomit. Probably not the best start to a new country and one that perhaps colours my time there. The taxi from the airport ... Read more >

'But you've been to 21 different countries!' I know, I know. It doesn't even make sense to me. I'm just a victim of circumstance. A pawn in the game of life. A hapless innocent wanderer in the jungle of life... yes yes.. okokokok, I'll get on with ... Read more >
