Today (depending on your time zone) is Friday the 13th, or Black Friday as some call it. Did you know that already? Did you wake up this morning feeling a little nervous that perhaps you’d be hit by a bus today, or just spill your morning coffee? If something does go wrong, will you chuckle […]
Hello, I’m still here! I went away spontaneously and and didn’t time-stamp any posts, and my server went down to boot. Sorry about that.

Where in the world have you been? These are the places I’ve seen so far, in red. The little splodge at the bottom right is where I call home. Clearly I need to visit Africa and Russia.
A lot of people ask me about my frequent travels and how I do it. Before I was 21 […]
We all have our own physical and ethical boundaries when it comes to money. Check out the results of a survey CNN Money carried out asking adults what they would and wouldn’t do. It covers the usual issues like lending money, keeping money if you find it and stealing.
There are ethical concerns when it comes […]
How on earth would I know how to get a donation from a rich person? Well, people think I do know. More and more people are searching for that phrase and similar in Google and then they click on my site in the results. They must be disappointed when they arrive. I am no expert […]
