EDIT 2021. The market is now closed, and I’ve been vegetarian for the last 5 years! If the thought of munching down on some lambs penis for dinner gets you going, then I’ve got a treat for you! Donghuamen night market is the pimp dadd...
I’m about to embark on my epic journey through Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan on the transsiberian railway. Trying to keep it cheap, I wanted to buy the tickets destination by destination as opposed to buying the whole thing in one purchas...
I’ve always been blown away by huge sights, whether they’re natural like Victoria falls or man-made like the Pyramids, there’s just something special when you see something for the first time and are left awe-struck. I expected that with th...
As I write article after article on my laptop, and snap away with my SLR camera it dawned on me that over the years of backpacking around the world I’ve slowly developed into a fully=fledged flashpacker. If you’re not familiar with that ter...
An Irish travel buddy, Gerard Darragh, of mine was sitting on a bus beside me this week in China and we were talking about life. He recollected a story about how the Romans were the first people to use obituaries for their fallen. They woul...
This was written from an amazing hostel, at the foot of a 200 foot karst mountain, on the shore Li Jang river awestruck by the scenery in front of me. Yangshou, you are something special… Yangshou is a small town next to Guilin in Gua...
Oh the joys of backpacking are all coming rushing back to me now. So I left Chengdu to head to Juizhaigou to check out its UNESCO national park. A simple 8 hour bus journey they said, no worries. Hmmm…. I went to the bus station at 7...
I’ve just set off on my China to Ireland by land trip, and I’ve had to (temporarily?) say goodbye to my life in Thailand. Leaving my comfort zone, something that I so often urge other people to do, has once again proven very difficult....
“A man who speaks two languages is worth two men” – it may be famous but it doesn’t mean it’s true. Imagine this scenario… I’m sitting on a train, my seat is supposed to be 14A but I choose to sit on 14B. It doesn’t particularly bothe...
I’ve discussed what a visa run is before (so if you don’t know, click the link), and thanks to my indefinite travel plans I seem to be constantly bordering hopping! Last week I had to get an extra couple of weeks stamped into my passport so...
Things to See in Ranong, Thailand UPDATED MAY 2020: Ranong is the name of both a province and city in Southern Thailand, with confusingly Ranong being the capital of Ranong! This blog post refers to things to see in and around Ranong City....
This story is a painful one to rekindle but here we go… I was in South Africa with plans to head from Cape Town to Cairo and start to try to make money from One Step 4 Ward and truly redesign my lifestyle, obviously then my laptop was prett...
Thanks for deciding to subscribe to my blog, it means a lot to me that people trust a normal guy from Ireland.
You should be proud you're taking a new step to changing your life!
As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand
and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I've made
more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I
travel the world and live my dream. I talk about how I did it, and how you can do it too, in my COMPLETELY FREE
Ebook, all 20,000
words or so. Just finish the process by putting in your email below and I'll mail it right out to you immediately. No spam ever too, I promise!
Take ownership. Take action, and remember
"If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs"
