Imagine you walk into the bar on the red carpet, with two bodyguards, immaculately dressed and with face of a young Pitt. Your presence demands attention. To add to the overall awe, prior to your glitzy arrival, you had five PR people telling all the hot chicks in the club about your upcoming arrival, adding [...]

Today we found out there is yet another Tax coming our way, taking lump sums from our retirement pot is going to be taxed, together with pension tax. The more you put away, the more tax you will pay. Let’s step outside of the situation for a minute and look at the problem logically. We [...]

So there we hear it everywhere: “don’t bullshit the bullshitter”, “just tell me the truth, I can handle it” etc., without actually realising what we are signing up for. If one day we were to wake up to a world filled with truth and straight talking people, would we be happier, would we take it? [...]

Inspired by one of my favourite movies, I decided to write a bucket list. During my still quite a short life , I have build up a small list of the things I want to do, before I “kick the bucket”. Some of them have been accomplished, many still need to be done, and there [...]

Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas is the home of Pink Taco, which itself is a nice, mexican restaurant, with decent fajitas and quick service. One thing that lets them down is the desert menu. I could write a bit about all the other sugar related foodski, but I don’t want then to come after me, [...]

30/8 I woke up in Fresno, In-N-Out Burger is my new amazing find, hence the breakfast choice for today. It’s what McDonald’s should be like. No fuss, no 50 types to choose from, just plain and simple: hamburger or cheeseburger, shakes, sodas, and that’s all! And it’s all fresh, chips cut on the premises, chunky [...]

29/8 I woke up in Yosemite, California Woke up in a tent in Yosemite after a freezing night under 2 blankets, but the view makes up for anything here. Shane opened the door to the tent and I could see the top of the mountains with some sequoias sticking out, tickling the clouds above. We [...]

28/8 I woke up in Bishop, California Exciting day today as we are heading to yosemite! we woke up in bishop which is the second small town we came across after getting out of the death valley (the first one seemed really nice, and they even had a small mcdonalds with paintings outside portraying a [...]
