In 2017, I travelled to the Amazon jungle to take part in an ayahuasca retreat. I hadn’t done psychedelics for 20 years, and that last time I’d had a bad trip which had left me traumatised. Why would I ever want to try psychedelics again? Although I’d healed a lot from that youthful bad experience,…
When you travel, you never know what to expect, even when you scour the web, brochures and videos. It's full of surprises. But sometimes first impressions may not be accurate. So, when we recently visited Peru, we stayed in a variety of places, of all types. Some were supremely outfitted with beautiful…

You can poke your nose into your phone, of course, but that…
Every notable city has its standard "halo" locations: those places that, for better or worse, define the city it most peoples' eyes and minds. Paris has the Eiffel Tower, London has Big Ben, Peru has Machu Pichu and, here, the USA has San Francisco and it's Transamerica edifice. Like it or not, they're the eye-catchers,…
