Crete E4: Ancient Lissos Ruins As I descend down the coastal route of the E4, the ruined city of Lissos doesn’t look like much. I could see a couple of tourists on the tiny beach, the rocky outline of a small church, and what I’d hoped would be a functioning […]

Blogs told in pictures, rather than words. Ok, there are a few words thrown in too.
Sinbad Submarine: King of the Hurghada Seas
Sinbad Submarine: King of the Hurghada Seas If the Desert Safari was my favorite day in Hurghada, the Sinbad Submarine experience was undoubtedly the most novel. The introduction to Sinbad is sort of underwhelming, with a cheesy waiting area and a 30 min boat ride with free water and juice […]

Given how touristy and accessible some of these Saronic Islands are, I didn’t initially have very high expectations. I’d just spent 3 weeks hiking in Crete, […]

Crete E4: Paleochora to Sougia to Tripti
Crete E4 Trail: Paleochora to Sougia to Tripti The walk from Paleochora to Cape Tripiti is a mostly easy two days, and except for the trail right outside of Paleochora (which hits a small stretch of half-finished road) is a lot of lovely hiking. At quite literally the end of […]
Hey there! I'm Stephen, this is my travel blog, and that's me in the poofy hat.

My current focus is Central Asia, because for a hiking and camping enthusiast it's as good as it gets.
