5 Weeks in Malta The film about my trip for those lazy readers - Being such a small country famous for it's tourist trade I wasn't all that excited to visit but it turned out to be a beautiful place with some really friendly people. I travelled with my mate Rich as we had a couple of filming projects in mind for our Modern Explorers website. The first week we stayed and volunteered (arranged through Workaway) at an eco-friendly village called 'The Vortex' - set up by butwhynot on the West of the island. We met some great people, learnt about off-grid living and did lots of filming with the intention of making a film about the village (which I am c... read more

12 Days in Tunisia Being a small country and not particularly famous for anything I wasn't that bothered about exploring Tunisia in great depth. For this reason Me and Steph opted for a cheap 12 day package holiday (my first package deal in about 14 years) so we could visit without breaking the bank and I could move a step closer to completing my corn flake mission.

"The Adventures of a Hard-up, Diabetic Traveller with a Corn Flake Problem" The description on Amazon The Adventures of a Hard-up, Diabetic Traveller with a Corn Flake Problem, details a decade’s worth of experiences from my travels in over 60 countries. I have travelled for 71.3% of this past decade, with a daily expenditure of £14.13, pretty cheap when you consider that includes everything. I have also had type 1 diabetes since I was 9 years old, which has caused plenty of problems along my journeys around the world. I have tried to travel off the beaten track and slowly, to look at places thoroughly and to take it all in. I have kept a daily diary on my travels so the experiences are ... read more
