It is completely unreachable by vehicle […] Continue reading

Koh Phangan Thailand

Fire Dancer Pirates Bar Koh PhanganI’m in the middle of a HUGE party here on Koh Phangan, for the Thai Songkran Festival.

They’re expecting 10,000 people to decend upon this tiny town tomorrow in the countryside surrounded by rainforest. Yesterday I got to walk thru some of that rainforest on the side of an ancient volcano. Awesome. […] Continue reading

Alpujarra, Granada, Spain

There’s a magical mix of influences in this area – the Arab touch from the previous Moorish settlement, a Buddhist monastery and retreat near Trevelez, open […] Continue reading
