I am in Chiang Mai, Thailand, heading towards my first mountain trek. I am with fellow tourist Ani and guides Mr G and Chai.

My head, wedged between the seat and the window, pops out of its awkward position as we come to a stop at the bus station.

I am going for a walk in the Berkeley hills. I met the group of walkers on Euclid Avenue at the entrance to the Rose Garden, a theater of rose bushes laid out in terraces on the hillside.

The trip was designed to be a reinvigorating journey from Accra, on the coast, all the way up to the North

In 2011 I embarked on an amazing and profoundly moving journey through the WW1 Somme Battlefields in France

Its late afternoon, and were walking. Its not a clear day by any means. In fact, the rain has just stopped, and water is steaming up from the surrounding greenery, compounding the intense humidity.

Dont go back, they warned, it wont be the same.
