Things I Miss about America
It’s too easy to look at what’s happening in the land of my birth right now and breathe a sigh of relief that there is an ocean between me and all the vileness. Rumours of sharks swimming up freeways in the flooding after Hurricane Harvey. Actual Nazis who are not ashamed to show their faces while perpetrating violence. The grim spectre of impending nuclear winter. In my eleven years living in the UK I've seen both countries change in ways that seem so unthinkable I began to wonder whether we've slipped into a parallel dimension. Yet for all the woes Britain is currently experiencing, it seems for the time being to be the lesser of two evils.

Around Thailand
Koh Phi Phi Here are some thoughts and experiences of an island in East Thailand called Koh Phi Phi. From Bangkok, it is an overnight bus ride far to the south and then a long boat ride to the small island of Koh Phi Phi. You arrive by boat to alight at the end of the jetty to walk through the many Thais hawking for trade and looking for your guide with a sign for your place to stay.

Top NASCAR Drivers
NASCAR is a sport that is relatively new compared to baseball or tennis, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have legends. Many of the top NASCAR drivers of all time are household names, major sports celebrities, and have wins that would make most of our jaws drop.

Eyes Down: Numberplate Bingo Across 24 Countries
The quest ended on a Balkan road as a car darted across my taxi in the cheeky traffic of the congested city of Prizren. I glimpsed very little except the numbers of the registration plate which flashed past me like a small chorus line of tadpoles — 999.

The Car Park King
The Tudors have always been a part of British history that I've been fond of. I enjoy the stories of the kings and queens and found the tales of love, betrayal, and scandal very interesting. The Tudors brought the birth of the new Church of England and the golden age. But none of that would have been possible if it wasn't for the War of the Roses and the defeat of Richard III.

20 of the Most Quintessential Activities to See and Experience in Laos
A lot of countries seem to be renowned for their amazing mountainous viewpoints and archaeological discoveries that they transcend, taking the shape of something much more than a geographical location. In a way, they become a state of mind — almost like anything is possible for those who wish to seek more from their travels; to see and do everything possible in such a short stretch of time. Laos is one of those locations that commands attention from those caught in its gaze. Located in the southeast part of Asia, Laos can only be described as a hidden gem thanks to the infinite amount of things to see and do within the country itself.
