Koh Phangan Chakra Journey program:

Greetings from Sorrento!

We're just back from an olive farm trip here on the Amalfi Coast, enjoying the last tastes and smells of the region as our trip nears its close. Only Tuscany remains for our Spring 2023 series of European LiveAways, most of which has gone very well and was full of fruitful insights for next year's LiveAways.

When I was a travel writer commissioned to write about specific places, my heart would sink when they were about the south coast of England.

This is of course a disgraceful statement, and everyone should condemn me for making it. I’m clearly an idiot.

Greetings from Sorrento!

We've just arrived for our first LiveAway program here on the Amalfi Coast, and there's a fresh group of new members joining a number who were with us in Sicily the past few weeks, and who came here with me via the magnificent Aeolian Islands.

Well, it’s officially spring. But with freezing temperatures still snapping and nipping away early buds in the night, I’m yearning for high summer. Warm days with green bursting out of the landscape, blooming trees and blushing sky. 

This winter I was given a respite from the northern cold and a taste of midsummer in the form of Armenian Toorshi.

Greetings from Cefalù!

We're approaching the final few days here of our Sicily LiveAway, and we'll soon be off for a few nights in the Aeolian Islands en route to Sorrento for our 2-week LiveAway on the Amalfi Coast.

We have been absolutely blessed with gorgeous sunshine and comfortable temperatures while here, and being as early in the season as we are, we've also been relatively free of the throngs of tourists that will begin to descend upon the island later this month.

If you were the crew of an 18th or 19th Century sailing ship, and you were charting a course around South Africa’s Cape Of Good Hope, and by the look of it the weather was turning foul, your blood would have run like ice-water in your veins for two reasons.
