Its official start is Wesley College Boatshed in South Perth with Elizabeth Quay being another popular… Continue reading What Did I Think of Perth’s Most Popular Run? | Bridges Run

My first-ever visit to West Africa was in 2021 when we landed a work project in Ghana. Having heard so many wonderful things about Ghana’s warm people, flavourful food and rich culture, it felt like a dream come true. As luck would have it, the scope of the project expanded, and this is now my… Continue reading Running in Akosombo, Ghana | First Impressions
Following Christmas, the family and I travelled to South Africa for a much-needed break to relax, rejuvenate and refocus. We chose the province of Mpumalanga as our destination (about a 10-hour road trip with kids) and got exactly what we needed – fresh mountain air, incredible views, country food, several outdoor activities as well as… Continue reading Running in Pilgrim’s Rest, South Africa
