And there’s loads more to come. You can read all my mini-entries – past, present and future – by clicking right here.

I feel like throwing up. My head is spinning, my stomach churning, my joints throbbing. I suck in a lungful of icy air but there isn’t enough oxygen. Yet still I ignore that pounding thought: ‘turn back, turn back’. After two weeks of physical and mental exertion, with my final destination only an hour ahead, I know I can’t give up now. So I plant a walking pole deep into the dirt track and drag my heavy body onwards. Slowly, I begin to move my legs, bend my knees, pick up my feet, and I struggle on through the white wilderness, closer and closer to the finish line. I’m going to make it.
That’s when it all goes black. Read more of this post

A few days ago (on Saturday 4th February, to be precise) I had a brand new travel article published in the leading British newspaper The Daily Telegraph. It’s all about a rather chilly quest to find the secret seaside spring of Il Sorgeto, which is (in turn) on the Italian island of Ischia, and this is how it starts…
““Have you got the eels?” I ask, teeth chattering, as my girlfriend steps off the yacht and onto the deserted jetty. She nods. “And the mullet, too? And the calamari?” She holds the bulging bag of seafood aloft with one gloved hand, as she pulls her jacket tight with the other, and I grin a chapped-lip grin. Now all we need is a scooter rental shop. One that’s open in December…”

Hi there. My name is Joseph and I have two big passions in life: Travel and Comedy. I like to discover new corners of the world then spread the word (in the forms of travel features, guides and copy) and I also like to reveal the jocular side of life with comedy films, sketches and speeches.
You can discover both sides of my personality - and both sides of my writing - by traversing this site. If you have any questions, just get in touch.
Ideally through one of these, and not in real life.
I'm the expert London correspondent for Forbes - so follow my advice here.
Like my work? Then hire me for travel and comedy projects through Elance!
I prefer to focus on writerly Tweets. All latrinal habits are my own business...
