travel, music and opinion blog
Here is where I will keep a collection of my writings collected whilst traveling or experiencing music. I write this merely for my own enjoyment and memories, as is simply my outlook and opinion in real time.
In more recent times I’ve felt obliged to record moments of my increasingly politicised life
This segment of my website is not designed for anything other than archiving my memories, and is for no-one aside myself.
Opinion BLOGs
Here is a simple space of opinion pieces from myself from in and around the fine British capitol city of London.
Trinidad and Tobago
In the early months of 2018’s immense summer, I travelled thirteen hours on a Virgin flight from London to the small Caribbean island of Tobago.

South Africa and Botswana
Nearing the end of the summer in 2018, I flew to Johannesburg and from there travelled the entire length of Botswana via a local bus from South Gabarone to North Maun.
