It has been years since I last visited China ( Hong Kong and Macau don't count), and Guilin has always been on my mind, so I suggested it to a friend who was also keen on exploring this part of China.
Our original plan [...]

 
As much as I love living in London, the grey winter months are just too depressing, perhaps it's due to lack of sun, but I was determined to find a way out this year... When I told my UK friends that I was going to travel and work in Asia for [...]

A lovely December day in the Chilterns
 
It has been a few months since I last did a country walk, I have been so busy with work that I have not had the chance to get out of London. Finally, on a sunny ( and slightly warmer) winter day, I was able to [...]

Not so many years ago, I used to be 'cool'... hanging out at the hippest restaurants, bars, clubs, wearing fashion labels that were in the know and staying at trendy boutique hotels around the world.

No, I haven't flown to California yet... I was listening to 'California dreaming' while I was out in sub-zero temperature and I couldn't stop daydreaming (one of my favourite hobbies) about it!! Oh, how I wish I was there now! You will know what I mean when you look at the photos [...]
