Been a great week for music finds. Lots and lots of acid fuelled tracks that just keep rolling and tapping your eardrum with an infectious beat. One artist that stands out is Baltra; i have added two tracks to this list that are awesome. There’s also a mix at the bottom that features a song called Spanish Fly by WAFFLES that I need to get my hands on. Enjoy x…

Next on my little adventure to Malaysia was a place called Georgetown in the city of Penang. It was a beautifully cosmopolitan town with a culture like no other place in Asia. It is full to the brim with art and local craft galleries, animal themed street art, amazing architecture with crumbling walls that have been overtaken by nature and gorgeous little coffee shops. I stayed at a guesthouse…

Kuala Lumpur & Batu Caves

Two weeks ago I had to leave Thailand to extend my visa for 3 months. I decided to go explore Kuala Lumpur and Penang in Malaysia. I started in KL, a big concrete jungle filled with ridiculously high skyscrapers, the most famous being the Petronas towers. On my second day I made my way to a Hindu shrine called Batu caves situated on the outskirts of the city. Little did I know that there was a…

I’ve just returned from a week off galavanting around Kuala Lumpur and Penang in Malaysia on a mini visa run. It was so nice to see a different part of the world and meet so many lovely travellers along the way. Most of my week consisted of doing whatever I wanted and taking the time to rest and relax as well as explore. Heres some of the tracks I was chilling out too. Enjoy x [soundcloud…

Khao Yai National Park

A few months back the snake team went on a trip to Khao Yai National Park for Ines’s Birthday. We spent the day driving round trying to find animals and stopping to take in the magnificent waterfalls that made you feel like you were in jurassic world. We saw gibbons, macaques, crocodiles and were even lucky enough to spot an elephant disappearing off into the woods. Although it was a fun day, I…

Thailand: First Two Months

It’s crazy to think I have been living in Thailand for over two months now. In some ways time has flown by but at the same time it feels like I have been here forever and ever and ever. For those that do not know, I am working as a field technician on a project investigating the spatial ecology of King Cobras (Ophiophagus hannah) through the means of radio telemetry. The position is for 6 months…

Here’s what i’ve been listening to the past week. Enjoy x [soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/96608605"…

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a weekend tracks post. A combination of not being on my computer that much to listen and explore house music and still buzzing from all the folky, rock and alternative music I heard at End of the Road Festival. Nevertheless, electronic music always seems to find a way flow back into my ear stream. Here’s some tracks I have been enjoying recently x [soundcloud…

Climbing Helvellyn via Striding Edge

This post is way overdue but before venturing out to the forests of Thailand, Andrew and me spent a weekend in the Lake District, England in his parents static caravan. It was so nice to finally spend some quality time together after spending a long hard summer slogging away at our master’s theses. It was also a great opportunity to have a weekend away before we both embarked on our respective…

Here’s a few bands and music I have been listening to during September. Mostly inspired by two festivals I went to this year: Dekmantel and End of the Road. Enjoy x …

After dancing my arse off at Dekmantel I decided to meet three friends down in Prague. After the long 14 hour bus journey I was greeted with a city full of the most beautiful architecture. Each building was unique and very decadent much of which I failed to capture on camera. We were only there for 3 days but they were spent racing round the city exploring the winding streets within the old…

This garden ain’t bad

It is often so easy to brush past the little things and look on at something stealing the spotlight. Or even forget to appreciate something because you have become so accustomed to it in your everyday life. From a first glance my front garden looks very unfruitful, but when you look a little bit closer you start to notice the tiny beautiful flowers breaking out amongst the sea of green leaves, or…
