Light up life
A great way to see the Fringe Festival on a budget is to have some patience and book your tickets between 12 and 3pm on the same day of the show, when you can get them for half the price. This is how I ended up at Luminous. Luminous is what…
Photographing my way through Florence
Italy is a beautiful country to explore by train. When I found myself working in Viareggio the decision to take a train to Florence was quickly made. Via a transfer at Pisa I arrived at Firenze Centrale. I had no clue where I was going or what Florence was all…
Welcome to Limbo
In the evening I promote a show for the Adelaide Fringe Festival. It seems like Adelaide is filled with artists, and I meet several of them trying to convince them to come see the show I’m flyering for. So sometimes you start a little conversation. And this time I started…
88 days diaries: Big bad boss; a manual
When you’ve decided to do your 88 days on a farm, be prepared. Not all farmers are of the happy, cheerful and friendly kind. You might have to deal with a somewhat eccentric boss. If you take things personal, you’d better just turn around now. This isn’t the place for…
It’s a small world

Kick-start the Adelaide Fringe
The Fringe has come back to town. Every year in February, Adelaide goes show crazy. Whether it’s circus or comedy you’re after, there’s something for everyone. I was lucky enough to have a night off on Saturday to go to a comedy gig. Gordon Southern played at the Rhino Room…

Let’s go to Big Sur!
The Thrills sang about Big Sur and the song was playing in my head when I got on the bus to the Big Sur area. I was staying in picturesque Monterey and didn’t have a car. A small bus took me out of town and into the Big Sur. On…
So you’re in a town called Gumeracha
Small town life is different. You might never have thought about moving to a small town but find yourself in one during your travels. That’s how I ended up working in Gumeracha, town of 400. I didn’t even know how to pronounce the name of this town and made a…
Swakop sandboarding
Sandboarding is a popular activity in many countries these days. Pretty much everywhere you have dunes, you will find companies advertising sandboarding. There are a lot of varieties to this and the best one I’ve done was in Swakopmund, or Swakop, in Namibia. It was all arranged via Alter Action.…
