Finally tearing myself away from Nazare I ventured south towards Faro, I had decided to cut out a large section of the western coastline to save time and money, big mistake! I ended up backtracking and loved every minute of it. So much so I have to do an entire section of exploring Sagres -… Lire la suite Portuguese coastline- part dos!

Overflowing with emotion!
I've had a roller coaster couple of weeks, not only did I celebrate my birthday with typical Portuguese fare of sardines and sea bass all sourced locally from the crystal blue waters of Nazare, which had been my home for the past month or so. The meal was prepared by a wonderful French importee and… Lire la suite Overflowing with emotion!
Driving my Ziggy
Every journey is an adventure! I've always loved driving, although driving Ziggy has presented me with a few irritating issues, the main one being my map reading skills. When driving alone everything rests on my shoulders, my latest journey leaving Porto heading south started by going north, I only realised my error some 45 minutes… Lire la suite Driving my Ziggy
Time to write
Although writing was one of the main reasons for coming on this journey with no clear destination in mind, somehow I've found it rather difficult to dedicate the time, energy or focus to writing. Not only is the process of finding WiFi hotspots somewhat difficult but coordinating this fact with equipment that is fully charged… Lire la suite Time to write
La Rochelle, France

The storage area somehow… Lire la suite Independence Day- July 4,2016
The make-over
The Blue Beast This is not so much of a story, it's more like a play-by-play commentary of the changes that Ziggy has undergone since we met. Transforming the Blue Beast to Ziggy should have been a relatively easy task, why? Because the van was kitted out with everything your average person would need; bed,… Lire la suite The make-over
Serendipity Sol
I like to describe myself as 'One in a million' born of mixed heritage French and Indian, I've had rather a colourful life up till now. I couldn't resist buying this piece as I happened to be wearing all the same colours as shown above the very day the artist happened to be in Bournemouth… Lire la suite Serendipity Sol
The Ideal Van

What I wanted, looked nothing like what I could afford.Buying and converting a vehicle will be my first step in the adventure, I’ve spent many hours following fb pages of bus and van enthusiasts, eBay and the like in hopes that through some form of osmosis I will… Lire la suite The Ideal Van
Destination Unknown: The dream
July 4th is typically known by U.S. citizens as Independence Day, well for me it represents the day I move into the next phase of my life and literally leave England for an undetermined time and destination unknown. I'd like to have people follow me, keep me company so to speak, people who are interested… Lire la suite Destination Unknown: The dream
