I’ve been very bad at keeping my blog updated this year, busy working, travelling and collecting new stories. But I’m keeping a record of all the incredible things I’ve seen, eaten and done so that I can keep sharing them.
Discovering New Places To Visit in Bombay: Mazagaon and Khotachiwadi
I seem to spend so much of my time these days either at home working or going to the same places to meet friends, that I’d almost forgotten about the joy of discovering new places to visit in Mumbai. So
The Ancient Capital of Japan : Kyoto

Bagan: A Temple Junkie’s Paradise

Mumbai: Elephanta Island
Whilst I had been to Mumbai 5 times previously, I had never made it to Elephanta Island, but now I have seen them twice in less than a year. Located off the coast of South Mumbai, this island is famous
