Christmas is ah-coming! What does that mean? I’ll tell you what that means: Screaming, snotty-nosed brats in a Tesco near you, demanding the latest and greatest computer games whilst adding to a greater national debt. Atheists packing into churches, singing along to the sweet melody of hypocrisy. Psychotic last-minute shoppers fighting over the last turkey [...]
Frustrations, Sexual Assault and Bad First Impressions of Vietscam
Vietnam and I didn’t get off to the best of starts. I was all ready to be like a proper grownup and go there on holiday with my girlfriend – until her Visa was rejected at last minute for only one reason; her nationality. It seems Vietnam isn’t too keen on Tunisian’s coming for a [...]
Motivational Monday: How to Win Friends, Influence People (and Get Free Ice Creams).
After recently spending a week with my friend, I started to suspect that aliens had abducted his soul overnight, or that he had joined a secret cult during my absence. He wasn’t his usual antagonistic, argumentative self. He was expressing the perfect etiquette of the world’s greatest social butterfly – taking an interest in other [...]
Four Mouth-Watering Malaysian Meals You MUST eat in Penang
Being a self-proclaimed, intense ‘foodie,’ good gastronomy is always high on my agenda when I travel and a bad meal has been known to completely ruin my whole day. The more I eat and the more that I travel, the higher maintenance my palette becomes. Simultaneously, I feel the burning desire to find a destination [...]
The Best of Europe’s Christmas Markets

Germany, Austria, UK, Austria and Belgium are [...]
Motivational Tuesday!! Are You Competing With The One Person You Should Be Competing With?
(This post is a day late because of a mixture of bad wifi, and me totally taking the size of Vietnam from north to south for granted)…. Four years ago on a lively mid-August night in Las Vegas, a battered and bruised Richard Hatton felt something for the first time in his glitzy 13 year boxing [...]
One Year on The Road – The Loneliest, Happiest and Most Exciting Year of My Life
On November 20th, 2010 – Man took on a clock counting down from one year – with the aim to leave England, debt-free of £16, 000 and to fly on a one-way ticket to an indefinite adventure around the world, before the clock ticked down to zero. On November 13th, 2011 – Man beat the [...]
New Challenge: The Battle of Scrawny to Brawny – Man Vs Will Peach
“You need some meat on you.” “Ewww, you’re soooo bony.” “Where DO you put it? You must have worms, you’re sooo skinny.” “Tehehe, your legs are like toothpicks.” These are actually some of the nicer things that people have said about my slender frame in the past. Why is it seen as mean, to openly [...]
Motivational Monday – Movember, Mofo!
Aside from the cases of a warped Austrian and a former Iraqi dictator who both suffered from small-penis syndrome, the mighty moustache has lived above many a legends upper lip. Back in the day, Mr Einstein brought us the theory of relativity, Ghandi kicked the Brits out of India and Chaplin made our Grandparents giggle [...]
Why My 28th Year on Mother Earth Was the Best So Far (and Why the 29th Will be Even Better)
On Thursday I will turn 29 years old. One year closer to the age that many people from my generation dread. Not me – I’m a lover of life, I LOVE my birthday and I consider it the most important day in the calendar. New Years Eve? A reminder of personal heartache and half-arsed promises [...]
