Greenland on hold

Sep

I should be winging my way to Toronto instead of sitting here blogging in rainy Melbourne, dammit.

The plan was to cruise the Artic circle on the Clipper Adventurer, but I’m not going anymore because my ship hit a rock. Happily, no-one was hurt, but the ship won’t be repaired in time for our polar cruise to go ahead.

Next report from the Mornington Peninsula’s Safety Beach, instead of Greenland…

Fear is found on a creaking glacier in the Caucasus mountains and joy is encapsulated in the perfect Shanghai dumpling.
And while I love a $500-a-night hotel room (who doesn’t?), sometimes the best stories are found in a $20 guesthouse.
With an eye always out for good markets and great street eats, I write travel news and features for the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne’s The Age newspapers, and features for whoever else asks. I have a particular soft spot for the wilds of the Middle East, scarves and carpets.
My articles and photographs have been published in a range of consumer magazines and newspapers in Australia and abroad, and I chat about travel on radio, too, to ABC Australia or 3AW or the Irish Times.
I also host the travel podcast The World Awaits - take a listen https://theworldawaits.au
