Alice Springs…
Has the only airport I’ve been to in the world that has a proper bar and pool table. It makes the whole airport, which is pretty small, feel like a proper pub. I love it! Oh yeah and the only TV in the bar is set to a Russian news station.

Boat + Drink + Aussies = fun?
The question of the day is what happens when you mix 15 Aussies, 2 Americans and 1 Brit, in a situation with lots of alcohol, some boats and a bar-b-que? Something that almost resembles fun. In all seriousness, we had a great time with a bunch of folks we didn’t know before we drank with them. …

Life can be random… Right?
Lets talk about random… Someone I really can’t remember just got in contact with me. Now normally this wouldn’t bother me none, but I feel like I should know this person. Their email was short and simple and just read “Is this Jude?â€â€¦ Well it sure is, but who’re they? The name doesn’t help me…

Australia…
We just got back from driving down the Great Ocean Road, which for those who don’t know it is a beautifully fly infested drive, that you spend more time trying to keep the flies out of your eyes to see the ocean then you do actually looking at the ocean. The time I did get…

Thailand cont.
Koh Phangan is one of the greatest islands I’ve been to so far. The only way to get here is by boat, there is no airport on the island. So that means the population level stays pretty low, expect for once a month where it surges up at least 10,000 to 15,000 extra for the…

Thailand
Ok, so nobody said I was smart, but put me with two other idiots and we’re almost able to make something happen according to plan. I sit here writing this in an internet café on Samui Island, in Southern Thailand, now I know I’ve not been keeping everyone up to date as to where I’ve…

World tour…
It came to me last night as I couldn’t sleep, in three months I will have gone around the world by plane. How crazy is that? The journey so far starts in Doha, Qatar where I got this crazy idea to go home for Christmas, or as close to Christmas as I could. That was…
Got any book recommendations?
