What. A. Week. A week ago I entered something called Monk Mode. An idea I’d obsessed about for a little while. A period of one’s life whereby one focuses only on certain aspects in order to grow and develop a skill or behavior. Often paired with meditation, gratitude, celibacy, good nutrition, and a strict workout. […]
The Weekly
Week by week I try to document my adventures, misadventures, and things on the road.
If you’re keen to keep up to date with my travels and whether or not I’ve survived, this is the place for you.
The Weekly #013 – I am an addict
Yeah. You’ve read that right. I am an addict. Something I’ve been hiding from for longer than I care to admit, but it’s time to face the demons, be open and honest and address this addiction head-on. It’s time to do something about it and make the changes necessary to overcome the addiction and move […]
The Weekly #012 – Mae Hong Son Loop
Have you ever wanted to sit on a small, Thai moped for 600km whilst going around 100’s of hairpin turns, dodging and weaving dogs, cats, chickens, monks and other cars? No, me either. But for some reason this week I decided to do the entire Mae Hong Son Loop. Despite my arse feeling like it’d […]
The Weekly #011 – Amazing Thailand ??
This week has been a full mixed bag of everything from experiencing my first hostel stay, chasing some of the best waterfalls I’ve ever seen, getting stuck in relentless Thai traffic, and coming face to face with an elephant whilst hiking at dusk… Safe to say it’s been an adventure, but wouldn’t change it for […]
The Weekly 010 – The First of 2023!
It’s a little late, but here we are. The first weekly of the year, and hopefully the catalyst to what will be a successful year (my definition of success) for Explore Stronger, adventure, photography, and travel. I daren’t wish you a happy new year, especially given that we’re 17 days in. But I hope the […]
The Weekly #009 – Beautiful Norwegian Fjords
When you think of Norway, you probably think of fjords. Towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and turquoise blue waters. You’d be right, the west coast is absolutely full of them, and this week’s driving through these incredible landscapes was absolutely magnificent. Highs and lows of the week(s) Highs: The driving this week has been nothing short of […]
The Weekly #008 – Heading Home
The goal was always to head North and into the Arctic circle. Since leaving in 2019 I knew it was a place I always wanted to revisit, and my second visit, it makes me realise how special this place truly is. That said, it’s time to head home… Highs and lows of the week(s) Highs: […]
The Weekly #007 – Going North
This week would see me travel to the furthest North I’ve ever been. Tromso is nearly 70 degrees North, and soon the sun will set and not rise again for a couple of months. Kinda cool, kinda terrifying. Highs and lows of the week(s) Highs: More hiking in possibly the most beautiful place in the world. […]
The Weekly #006 – Porpoise and Mountain Peaks
When the weather is good in the Lofoten, it really is an incredible place to be. I have to consider myself super fortunate for the weather I had this coming week and for the stuff I managed to get done. Highs and lows of the week(s) Highs: Good weather windows allow for some incredible hikes. […]
The Weekly #005 – Wild Bears and the Northern Lights
Well, what a week this one is and honestly I could write for days on either of the two subjects featured as this week’s highlights and probably still find some more to write about. When you talk about magical moments in life, you kinda don’t expect them to be within 48 hours of each other. […]
