October 23, 2012

So whaddya know? Gapyear.com are running a competition with the greatest prize ever…two weeks in the Cook Islands reporting back stories, photos and videos about the experience. Amazing. So of course I’ve entered, and I’d love for you to check out my entry, a photo essay of all my favourite (secret) spots around New Zealand. … More Get Me To The Cook Islands!

Photo Of The Week: RTW Throwback

October 21, 2012

As I sit here in cold, grey London, searching for any and all jobs so I can make some money and go on another adventure, I’m having a serious case of the post-travel blues. So I thought I’d take a look back at some of my earliest travelling photographs. This was taken on the steps … More Photo Of The Week: RTW Throwback

Photo Of The Week: A Trip To The Cornish Shore

October 7, 2012

This week, a whole bunch of my friends from camp came down to Cornwall for a few days of fun in epic proportions.

Photo Of The Week: A Weekend In Cornwall

September 30, 2012

This week I’d just been hanging out in London, doing London-y things until Friday night when a friend picked me up and we drove the 5 hour journey to Cornwall, or more specifically to a little place called Port Navas, where I have a house. We were met by some old friends and we spent … More Photo Of The Week: A Weekend In Cornwall

Photo Of The Week: One Last Look

September 23, 2012

On my very last morning at camp, I went down to the lake to take one last look at the beauty of the place I had called home for the last 4 months. It was a pretty special moment, with the water as still as I’d ever seen it, and the mist floating along every … More Photo Of The Week: One Last Look

Photo Of The Week: The Best Place In The World

August 26, 2012

Now that summer is over I’m working Fall Camp for the next few weeks until I finally head home. Fall camp is basically filled with manual labour (getting camp cleaned up and ready for winter) and a few college groups that we have to entertain. But every so often we get a bit of downtime, … More Photo Of The Week: The Best Place In The World

Photo Of The Week: It’s Good To Be Back

June 17, 2012

I’m now back working at Camp Sloane in Connecticut, USA for the summer and I’m loving it all over again. I’ve been here now for just over two weeks and of course there are ups and downs and endless dramas, but for the most part it’s just good to be back, in what feels like … More Photo Of The Week: It’s Good To Be Back

Photo Of The Week: We’re Circles

May 27, 2012

This week we hit up Chicago, our last destination before New York and Camp Sloane. While we were there we managed to meet up with our friend Kristen (from camp) and spend a glorious 24 hours just chatting about everything we’ve done in the last 9 months since we’ve seen each other. It was amazing … More Photo Of The Week: We’re Circles
