Getting to Thailand…..from Hull, UK 😉 I’m flying from Manchester Airport to Thailand so getting the train from Hull to Manchester the night before is easier so I can enjoy the Christmas markets with a friend who lives in Manchester. The train was £19 single (I personally use TheTrainline App as it’s easy to use) … More Getting to Thailand….

As I return to the UK for the winter months I’ve still been living in the van but it’s getting very cold. The moment I started to head North in Italy the weather started to change and the temperature began to drop. When I went through the tunnel from Switzerland to Germany, the sun was shining, the … More Getting ready for Thailand…

My slogan for my personal blog is Dream. Build. Explore. Discover. and Live We’re surrounded by people who are stuck in a strut by getting married, having kids because they think they must do it because it’s time and it’s how it works, buying big houses that people just can’t afford, getting into debt and … More Dream.

The ferry from Villa San Giovanni, Italy to Messina, Sicily … More Getting the ferries around Europe…

I actually started back in the UK when I’d just finished converting my van and I wanted to take it to Scotland and the Isle Of Skye to test it out. While myself and … More Climbing Mt Etna, Sicily…
