New Orleans, USA

I’ve spent a lifetime wandering around the world looking for the weird, wild, sad, mad, bad, glad and downright spiritually insane, and often writing about it. Places with that certain hmmmmm. Moments with that definite WOW.

I am still seeking out these places now: the strange, the remote, the Godly, the very unGodly, and trying to work out what they mean, or why they make me sigh with joy or shrink with horror, or cry, or chuckle, or feel stupendously bored (hello Legoland, Denmark, in winter).

I will tell all these stories, and all the new stories as I wander. And there will be lots of photos - all mine, unless credited.

And, at times, I will publish entirely random articles: I might dip into culture, art, AI, or even - horror - politics. But always with the aim of providing a perspective, place, position - you have not come across before. Something a bit OMG!

I hope it floats your boat, rocks your coracle, or uprights your Titanic. And if it does, maybe you might just possibly subscribe, or even pay or donate. My gratitude will be eternal. One hopes.
