Wandering the streets of Venice, I noticed that there were post boxes looking back at me. In many of them, I could see a face with an expression of human emotion. Here are some of my

There is a new Banksy on the scene. I found him in Padova, Italy. "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." Kenny Random has done just that. He has imitated Banksy's style and even some of

What do you like to do when (you think) nobody is watching you? For one man in Porofino, he likes to drive his boat about the coastline without wearing any clothes. I took the photos

What a nice place for a Birthday. On the shores of beautiful Lake Garda, we swam in a warm lake and ate delicious Italian gelato as we walked the harbour. Food was delicious and we

Snowboarding is one of my favourite sports and standing up on waterskis is easy. Putting two and two together, I figured that wakeboarding wouldn't be a problem. I was wrong. I was incapable of standing

Spying my first ever 'Space Invader' (a street artist), I realised that it is not only the world beneath our feet that we pass by. It is also the world above and around us. Look

Can you feel your heart beating? Have you done something today that makes a difference or are you allowing time to pass you by. Doing something doesn't mean jumping out of an aeroplane or wrestling

Hitch hiking around Europe results in some very big ups and downs. It isn't often that you are caught in the middle area of life where things don't really matter. It is amazing. It is

Photographs of things that I found upon the floor. As we move around the world, we don't pay enough attention to everything around us. I stopped looking at the buildings and the skylines to look at

There are some questions that most people immediately ask when they meet you. Not interesting questions that they will remember the answer to. Generic questions that they feel they should ask when meeting a new

As dark creeps in around you, the question arises about when to stop for the night. At what point is it no longer worth trying to hitch-hike because sleep becomes more valuable? After an unsuccessful

I slept under the Eiffel Tower in an awful thunderstorm as my hitchhiking through Europe continued. Then I met up with my new friend (from the evening before) for breakfast. We decided to hitch-hike together

As I walked around, I noticed that everybody is carrying something, doing something, going somewhere. On this particular day, many of them had umbrellas because it was raining. I do not have an umbrella. Here is a

Upon a recommendation, I decided to head to Maastricht as I continued my hitchhiking journey. I had no idea how to spell it, nor even which country it was in when I first got told
