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

I had an wow, oh my god moment right there and then, but I didnt utter the words. Not only because at that time I could barely speak any Spanish.

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.

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.

Standing in front of a dark, wet, sewer-hole, flames of my desires flash before my eyes. This was it. One of the secret tunnels that lead to Paris underworld.

There’s no way I’m eating rotten food. But it’s an Icelandic delicacy.

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

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.

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

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