This is a poem I wrote. The spoken word version is available via video (link at the bottom of the page!) - Thanks very much and enjoy! 
The Call to Wisdom
Hollow knocking,
Skies that blur,
Calling for your attention,
Time to wake up.
A strange sense of peace upon you,
Where is your place in history?

 Assess your existence,
Time grinds forwards,
Are you being left behind,
Or do you move with purpose?
Keep working,
Keep dreaming,
For the world will reward you,
Someday.

Sacrifice is glory,
Sweat your friend,
Stand back,
And see life for what it is,
Be silent,
Absorb the chance to be exceptional.
Now all that's left,
Is to make a decision,
Look to where your path leads,
And know that the work makes sense.

Hope Hill (Poem)

This is a poem I wrote. When Hopelessness meets hope.  Hope Hill The rain drains down the pane, Falling faster, Let the chaos reign. The tired town strains but holds, As a view of madness unfolds. Staring outwards now enticed, Restless hounds uneasy, Clouds awake, The downfall pours, Streets empty as perceived, A chance for solitary, Your pain relieved. Now hurry, Run, Be quick, If you want this trance to stick. Nothing hurts, Nothing matters, Even with your dreams in tatters. Venturing out beyond all reason, Embracing the lonely season. Content with misery, Legs beating down harder than the fall, An incline slippery and steep, As the world vanishes beneath your feet, Consumed by clouds that weep. Reaching the top wasn’t worth the view, A bleak outlook faces you. Even though it hurts still smile, As storms like these only last a while. Make your way down, Rejoin the town, As if it never happe...

Shining Veneto (Poem)

Beneath the sun in shining Veneto, Wondering freely alongside warm radiant houses, Clinging vines embrace the structures, Pastel streets developing, Town life unfolds slowly, Strolling as you wonder, How did you ever forget this? There's love in shining Veneto, Love around every corner, Love propped up by every barstool, Love flies by on every cycle, Enough love to make you a fool. Love in every face that passes, Love on the street, A chance for bliss, In those you meet. I'll learn the language you'll soon see, Then you'll finally be with me. Away from what I know, We'll take our time, To watch our vineyard grow. A new love will mature so pure and true, My answer to life was always you. Take my hand, Lead me to where things don't hurt any more, A small touch of kindness travels a long way, Bypassing cynicism and misery, A new love anchored and here to stay. As our feelings build, The vineya...

How To Stop Mosquitoes From Biting You! (7 Ways To Stop Them!)

-

Mosquitoes can be a massive nuisance, especially when travelling. Wouldn’t it be great if you could dramatically reduce your risk of getting bitten? The good news is I know how to, as I managed to visit Italy for 2 weeks without getting a single bite! Yes, that is correct, no bites for 2 whole weeks! I didn’t just stay indoors all day and night, I ventured out to ‘high risk’ places in the evening and sat out in the open under artificial lights! Still no bites! Here are my 7 ways to stop mosquitoes from biting you! Enjoy and I hope this helps!: 1. Window sticker for your hotel room: When we travel we always pack a sticker which says ‘Please do not open the window thank you’. We stick this on the handle as the maids who clean the hotel rooms tend to leave the windows open. It may make the room fresher, but it lets in a lot of unnecessary mosquitoes! You can always bring a piece of paper and some tape, just make sure that the sign is written in the native language of the country ...
