The first and hardest bit of the trip to Georgia was figuring out my flights. Georgia is not easy to get to from the UK. There are no direct flights. There are rumours of a low-cost Georgian airline launching in May and operating direct flights from Gatwick, rumours which half the creators at Traverse are gleefully… More How I got to Tbilisi
It’s time for the first of the Georgia videos! Oh, it’s taken a long time to get this out – I didn’t film as much as I should have and I’ve spent at least the last month wondering whether I can even get a single video out of the trip to Tbilisi. But it’s looking… More New video: A weekend in Larnaca
I’d still deciding whether or not to publish this because I don’t think any of it is going to be helpful to anyone but let’s talk about how much my week in Tbilisi cost me. Most of the activities were included in my Traverse conference ticket and while my instinct was to say that it… More How much did my week in Tbilisi cost?
Well, it feels very late to be publishing this considering I started reading it at 7am on official release day on January 11th but there’s been so much Georgia stuff and I had other stuff to slot in but finally, it’s time for Alastair Humphreys’ Local. I read his Ask An Adventurer last year and… More Travel Library: Local by Alastair Humphreys
What do you wear when you go to Georgia in winter? What’s the weather like and what do you need to take? Well, I think I got it kind of completely wrong but that’s ok because now you’ll know. I started with finding out the weather in February. January too – I titled this Georgia… More What I wore in Georgia in February
I don’t think I’ve ever actually said what I was doing in Georgia in the first place. Usually “what I’m doing” is going somewhere because I wanted to but Tbilisi wasn’t actually a random whim. I went to Traverse 24, a not-quite-annual conference that brings travel creators together for a weekend of talks and workshops… More Traverse 24: at the conference
If there’s one thing the Georgian Tourist Board seemed determined we learn about their country, it’s that it’s a foodies paradise. This is a real if you know, you know thing. If you’ve been to Georgia, you’ll probably list it as one of the best countries for food on the planet. If you haven’t been… More Georgian food & wine is amazing
I suspect I’ve said this before but I really liked the location of my hotel in Tbilisi- a five minute walk to the nearest metro station at Avlabari but also a ten minute walk to the Old Town, which meant I could go to the sulphur bath in the evening and get home quickly and… More Europe Square & Narikala cable car
This is another video from my vault – my trip to Brownsea Island in 2021 to spend a weekend in a tree tent. Again, common to these old ones, it’s not the video I wanted to make. I vividly remember sitting down to talk to the camera, finding it difficult but doing it but the… More New video: a quick weekend on Paradise Island
I can’t remember what day it was – maybe after the Old Town tour? – but one of my planned trips was viewpoint photography. I thought it would be good to get to a viewpoint, to take photos of the view, maybe to learn about photography but on the other hand, I knew that I… More Tbilisi’s funicular and Mtatsminda Park at sunset
