This dude isn't me. This is a dashing son of a gun I purchased online with perfect dentures and a winning smile that says "Hey there good lookin! I have a face you can trust. Read on and you'll enjoy yourself...how about I get you a glass of wine?". Yes that's right, I've purchased him. He lives in my desk drawer and is actually only 8 inches high. Still though, a face you can trust, as opposed to my face which says "I didn't kill any puppies, what are you talking about?". It's all in the face...or the eyes. Or the penmanship...ye Gods!
This website hosts a collection of stories, commentary on life in general, photographs and dishes from my journeys around the world. I've been fortunate enough to earn breaks away a few times a year to somewhere fiendishly outlandish like North Korea, Iran, Kyrgyzstan and Wales, and these stories will be intertwined with my regular blog as I muddle through life. I hope you enjoy my yarns! Richard |

Book Release - An Antipodean Adventure ON SALE NOW!
After years of toiling I have finally published my magnum opus(ish)! This is the true story of two friends embarking on a year-long adventure of comedic ineptitude driving across half the world in a modified Land Rover Ambulance raising money for the charity, ActionAid. Our trip would take us skipping through the riches of Europe and Turkey, across incredible Iran and Pakistan, journeying up through the hysterical humidity of India to the coolness of Nepal and the Himalayas of Tibet, before arrowing down through South-East Asia towards our final destination of Australia. On the way we’d be molested by men, chased, ruin a perfectly good balcony, bribe the police, hide in an Army Base, get molested by men again, get propositioned, get robbed, have the privilege to view some fantastic charity work, smoke Afghan marijuana, ride elephants (unrelated to the last point), almost kill a wedding party, and break down nigh on a hundred times. And get propositioned again. Hopefully that sounds like a tale worth reading, but if you’re still undecided, let me assure you that the second week was even worse!

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur...or in English "whatever one says in Latin sounds profound". Quite. Unfortunately my stories are in English.

Life Capturing
These are not just photographs, darling! These are windows to our very essence and existence that span the globe!...or they could be a collection of photos.

Food
I eat to live...but my girlfriend doesn't, so we go far and wide hunting for delicacies. The overriding opinion is that this should be her blog!
