Today, I complete my seven year backpacking anniversary and publication of my latest book.

Seven Years

I guess I managed to scratch my seven-year itch! Never in my wildest dreams, when I started my backpacking journey back on the 24th of October, 2018, did I ever imagine I would hit seven years on the road.

This wasn't planned, my original trip was scheduled to last two years, so what happened? It's hard to explain, but when your mind has the space to explore possibilities, you find yourself choosing some of them.

The decision to carry on travelling, was life-changing across so many facets of my life, as articulated across my three books. Many false limiting beliefs, vanished upon closer inspection, allowing new avenues to reveal themselves...experiencing the unfamiliar.

This journey; to learn, to grow and ultimately start anew, has without doubt been the best decision I have every made...what might your journey look like should you begin?

80 Portraits Book

My fourth book, over a decade in the making, is a photography book, available for free digital download. My photographic style, is to record everyday life, in homage to the greats of black and white street photography from yesteryear. 80portraits

The book is best viewed on a large screen, in book format with the images falling on the right hand side. My previous three books, also available for free, can be found at my: 80 Questions, 80 Quotes and 80 Words websites respectively.

Destinations

This past year has been a year of consolidation by continuing going back to live in the places I have enjoyed so much in the past and some new. As always you can see where I've been by visiting my itinerary. A brief summary...Hong Kong, Chiang Mai, Hoi An, Penang, Bali, Nha Trang and Siem Reap.

Costs

My costs this past year were again below expectations, apart from a few medical tests I decided to have done in a private hospital in Malaysia, rather than wait for years on our "great" NHS system in the UK.

I averaged around £600 per month covering absolutely everything. This was because I mainly rented small apartments for 1-3 month time frames, which in many South East Asian countries is highly affordable.

A great example of this, was the studio apartment I rented for three months in Nha Trang, Vietnam, a smallish beach town in south Vietnam. My apartment was right in the centre of town and a mere 6-minute walk to the beach.

I had an international mini-market across the road to purchase my duck eggs, sourdough bread, avocado's and Vietnamese coffee for my morning breakfast. Other days, I would head out to small independent coffee shops and the local wet market to buy fresh fish and exotic fruits including - mango, dragon fruit, pomelo and papaya.

My studio had a double electric hob and enough cooking utensils for simple meals. Meals out were extremely affordable, usually averaging under £7-8 for a starter, main course and a few large bottles of beer.

For well under £2, simple noodle, rice, soup and meat dishes were plentiful, from what I like to call the "old" lady street hawkers. This is where those working and living in the city, go for lunch to have genuine Vietnamese food. I would often get looks and strike up broken conversations with motorbike taxi drivers and office workers alike...forever memories.

Back in my apartment, steak (carnivore/keto) nights were plentiful, downed by reasonably priced wines from Argentina and Chile, around the £5 mark...I wonder what a home cooked steak dinner with wine now costs in the UK?

Immediate Future

As this article is released, I will have settled down into an apartment in Siem Reap in Cambodia for the next 6-12 months. I'm in a kind of limbo phase, before my final destination which I will call home, as detailed in the next section.

I am waiting for certain chess pieces to fall into place and come together before permanently settling down. As I have a long periood of time, I started to think what projects could I bring forward to fill this time. My second photography book was always on the cards, but I needed something else, something bigger!

One day, on one of my long beach walks, it occured to me that this would be the perfect time to begin learning and actually writing a first draft of a screenplay. Yes, that's right, I'm writing a full 90-minute movie script.

Is it scary? Hell yes. Is it exciting? Hell yes. I will spend approximately, three months trying to learn the craft of screen writing by immersing myself in film culture. Only then, will I attempt to piece together all my random ideas into a fully formed script...watch this space.

New Home

Readers may recall a prior article I wrote about finding a new country, a few things have changed since then.

Initial plans are in place to settle down in the UAE...strange that I will be back in this region of the world. As a flight attendant in my twenties, we used to fly into Sharjah and spend a few days there on our 28-day long trips going down to Australia.

Never would I have imagined settling down in this part of the world. However, when many parts of the West are in terminal decline for a number of reasons, the net needs to be cast further afield.

The immediate question often arises. Why when I have visited so many fantastic places around the world, would I end up choosing the Middle East? A few simple and quick reasons would include, the great weather with mild sunshine for 7-8 months of the year devoid of humidity. This cannot be said for most of South East Asia which I love so much, but also has long monsoon seasons, often with more rain than London!

A second important consideration for me, is diversity and the high quality of international food and service. This I have found is only available in truly international cities like London, New York and Dubai, due to the diversity of residents. The third major reason, is of course the lack of personal taxation on income and investments.

Those fortunate earning a decent living wage in the UK will pay 40% income tax, 8%+ national insurance contributions, 20% VAT on most purchases, 10-24% capital gains tax, 40% inheritance tax, 5% stamp duty on home purchases and some of the highest taxes on fuel and alcohol in the world.

When you add up just the everyday taxes, you get a figure of around 68%+. Two thirds of money earned disappears through one tax or another; working for the government for 243 days of the year...let that sink in.

While costs in The UAE are similar to London, in other words, expensive. Having 68%+ greater spending power due to lack of taxation means I can live a higher quality of life.

I will write a more detailed article of my experience of moving once I have lived through it. I will initially rent a short-term apartment for a few months in Dubai, while apartment hunting goes into full swing, with the aim to make a purchase within that time frame.

I am looking forward to settlling down and once again have somewhere to call home. I'm aiming to purchase an apartment and look forward to undertaking its refurbishment according to my tastes. This as always, will probably take three times longer and be three times more expensive than forecast. Once this has been completed I can begin working on many of my personal projects, that require a permanent residence.

Covid-19: Never forget what they did to us.

How sad, that by far the longest section of this article, unravels new data, research and knowledge surrounding the jabs. Those of you that have followed me from the begining of covid, will know that I have been 100% correct on everything I have written.

Most of the dominoes have fallen with only the last few remaining. Will the leaders of countries ever be brought to justice to answer for their crimes against humanity? Of course not, for they control the courts.

We have long known, there is a two-tier justice system, our leaders killing millions, have a free pass, we go to prison for speaking "hurtful" words...what a disgrace the West has become.

I urge readers to read the latest information I detail below, however uncomfortable it may be to read. I implore readers to carry out their own research as the truth is out there.

Here is a link to a Substack article that goes into huge detail with results from hundreds of independent studies from around the world.

The latest narrative, I have read and heard for the past year, has been "Long Covid". Those in power and the media, are lying to us once again.

I have personnaly met many people quoting Long covid and the long lasting affects of having covid. Please open your eyes to the truth. Long Covid doesn't exist apart from it being a narrative. People are suffering from more than 200 long term symptoms of the side effects from taking the jabs, they have been vaccine damaged...this is the truth.

Below is a summary of some of the latest data from various studies carried out around the world.

Japan

Heart failure up 4,900% among the covid-vaxxed. Japanese researchers from Keio University and Yokohama General Hospital found Myocarditis and pericarditis which are forms of inflammation in the heart that restrict the heart's ability to pump blood around the body and can cause blood clots, strokes, cardiac arrest, and ultimately, sudden death.
Dr. Tomomi Koizumi, a cardiologist, and Dr. Masao Ono, a pathologist, from the prestigious Mito Medical Center in Higashi-Ibarakigun. Asked the simple question: why are people dying from "unexplained cardiac arrests" at rates never seen before? They got their scapals out and looked at the hearts of the dead. They found every person who'd died suddenly from a cardiac event bore "multiple micro-scars" - tiny, insidious marks scattered in and around their hearts, invisible but deadly. Every single one had a history of multiple mRNA covid shots and boosters.
Kazuhiro Haraguchi, the Minister of Internal Affairs, has formally apologized to the Japanese nation, declaring "You were right, vaccines are killing millions of our loved ones."
A major peer-reviewed autopsy study found that people who died suddenly of an unexpected cardiac arrest after receiving Covid mRNA booster "vaccines" have tiny "micro-scars" in their hearts. The study found that the previously undetected scarring was caused by repeated mRNA injections. Researchers warn that difficult-to-detect damage is responsible for global surges in sudden death in the absence of overt ischemic heart disease.
Japanese covid vaccination database for 21 million citizens has been made public. Prof. Murakami of Tokyo Science University uncovered a disturbing peak in deaths 90-120 days after mRNA vaccination, with higher doses showing earlier death peaks. That's right, those who got more jabs died sooner, suggesting a cumulative toxicity that builds with each shot. Murakami estimates that 600,000 to 610,000 Japanese may have died post-vaccination, a figure that aligns eerily with Japan's excess death statistics.

USA

The federal agency made the admission after an FDA study confirmed that certain covid "vaccines" contains dangerous levels of excess DNA contamination. The residual DNA levels exceeded regulatory safety limits by 6 to 470 times.
CDC Study Finds 12,400% Surge in Premature Infant Deaths Among covid-Vaccinated Mothers.
A report by Denis Rancourt and Joseph Hickey, pushes back on claims that Covid "Vaccines" saved millions of lives. It argues that widely cited claims about COVID-19 vaccines saving millions of lives in the U.S. rely on flawed and unverifiable modeling assumptions.
An insider from has blown the whistle on VAIDS, they fused the spike protein with a small amount of HIVx`. It isn't a side effect of the vaccine, or the long Covid narrative we have been told; it is a side affect of the jabs. A study from Yale, has proven the existence of vaccine induced AIDS.
An estimated 50% of of women under the age of 30, in the US that had taken the jab, a number in the tens of millions are suffering from early menopause.
FDA researchers confirmed, the presence of DNA contamination up to 470 times higher than permissible thresholds. What does this mean? These fragments are causing Turbo Cancer where people around the worlds are experiencing stage 4 and stage 5 cancer out of the blue.
At Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts, 10 Vaxxed Nurses have all been diagnosed with brain tumors simultaneously.

A vaccine-injured doctor just came forward with an alarming statistic that should concern every covid-vaccinated person. Speaking at a Senate committee hearing hosted by Senator Ron Johnson on Tuesday, Dr. Robert Sullivan, an anesthesiologist, delivered a raw and heartbreaking testimony about what the shot did to him.
He also shared a disturbing finding from a peer-reviewed study that paints a grim picture of what these covid vaccines can do to the lungs. During his testimony, he revealed covid boosters AGE lung capacity in athletes by "five to ten YEARS in just ONE WEEK."
The New York Supreme Court just detonated the entire covid regime in one ruling. Over 1,700 unvaccinated heroes: cops, firefighters, teachers, sanitation workers - were fired for refusing the shot. Now? They're back. With full backpay. And the court made it crystal clear: the mandates were illegal. The jabs never stopped transmission. The entire justification? A Fraud.

Canada

In Alberta after a review has called for the immediate halt of mRNA jabs due to their deadly side effects.
The Canadian government has just made an explosive admission by revealing that Covid mRNA "vaccines" triggered a devastating surge in deaths among the general public. The alarming admission was made in a report from the federal government's Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
In a parliamentary response, the PHAC's report reveals that deaths surged dramatically after each dose of the mRNA injections. The report notes that mortality rates skyrocketed in individuals who were "boosted" with a third and fourth Covid mRNA "vaccine." Citizens who received the so-called "boosters" suffered far higher mortality compared to the unvaccinated, the PHAC response reveals.

What are the chances that eighteen new cases of cancer in Bulli Hospital in Australia all shared the same Pfizer vaccine batch?
A study published in the International Journal of Preventative Medicine in March analysed the outcomes of other studies, which evaluated a combined total of 85 million people. It showed a link between covid injections and an increase in various conditions: stroke (+240%), heart attack (+286%), coronary artery disease (+244%) and arrhythmia (+199%).

A courtroom in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, has become the battlefield for a trial that could shatter the entire covid industrial complex. But you wouldn't know it if you rely on CNN, BBC, or any mainstream "news" outlet - because they've buried it. Charges include genocide, biological warfare, and crimes against humanity - not as metaphors, but as hard legal facts submitted in evidence. The Dutch court's mere existence sends shockwaves through the globalist matrix. If it proceeds, the entire narrative collapses. This isn't political theatre. It's a legal case rooted in mountains of documentation, whistleblower testimony, and leaked contracts. The court is examining whether the global response to covid constituted an orchestrated crime.

Czech Republic

Official government data shows that, covid vaccinated women are 66% less likely to give birth compared to unvaccinated women.

New Zealand

South Korea

In South Korea, 96% received at least two doses of the jab. A peer reviewed study published in the prestigious journal Nature, looking into 10 million medical records, showed staggering results. The jabs have been degrading immune systems to the point of total collapse, known as Vaccine-Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS). A study of 558,017 injected individuals in Korea, found an increase in: Alzheimer's (+22.5%), Cognitive impairment (+137.7%), Depression (+68.3%), Anxiety disorders (+43.9%) and Sleep disorders (+93.4%)

Germany

Argentina

Scientists in Argentine in a study of the major Covid vaccines found 55 chemicals not listed on package inserts. The chemicals include 11 heavy metals (chromium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum, cobalt and copper), all of which scientists consider carcinogenic even at low levels inducing organ damage.

Italy

Professor Marco Alessandria of the University of Turin, conducted a population-level analysis. According to a peer-reviewed study recently published in MDPI, a highly regarded Swiss medical journal. The life expectancy of people that received two or more doses of the jabs has dropped by as much as 37 percent. What does this mean? Decades of life expectancy likely erased.

Norway

Norwegian scientists conducting a major study of international mortality data exposed a global cover-up of excess deaths among the "vaccinated." They found evidence that reporting on the official data had been manipulated to hide the link to the injections. This manipulation sought to suggest to the public that people who refused to get vaccinated were dying.

I urge readers to search online, for detailed documentaries split into three parts: Vaxxed I, II and III to further advance their knowledge.

I take no joy in reporting these statistics, these are the facts, not conjecture, not speculation and not some sort of conspiracy theory. This is where we are due to letting those in power do this to us through our acquiescence and not wanting to rock the boat by asking simple questions.

The way I live my life today is by facing the truth, however ugly, only then can I stand a chance of navigating a path through the murky waters. I wish all my readers well and hope to see many of you in the years to follow...signing out for now.
