Face to face with alligators during Everglades airboat tour in Miami
“Has anybody ever died doing this?” I asked our Cuban tour guide. “Yes!” he shouts, as the noisy air boat lifts into the air and then crashes back down again onto the murky river. As the water poured aboard, I…
Guinness Storehouse tour during St Patrick’s Day in Dublin
ST PATRICK’S Day, St James’s Gate, the home of the black stuff. And I make a confession that almost causes our taxi driver to crash. “I’ve never tasted Guinness before.” The Guinness Storehouse, where Ireland’s most popular export was once…

Lads Holiday to Edinburgh, Scotland: Bar crawls, BJs and a castle

Halloween party at Bran Castle in Transylvania, Romania

Lads weekend in Riga, Latvia: A bloody lucky escape
It’s 5am and I’ve just got off the phone to the hotel receptionist, who assures me the paramedics are on the way. I look over at Rory, his hands are red, there’s blood all over the bed, walls and carpet.…
Belgian chocolates, waffles and a terrorist
It’s Friday, 5.56pm and my missus phones me to make sure I’ll be finishing work in exactly 4 minutes. Vicky’s never this keen, but its my birthday and she’s organised some mystery activities, apparently. First stop was supposed to be…
South-West France booze tour!
Murcia: Lots of food, drinking and stinking
Mud. What is mud? By definition, it’s a soft, sticky matter from the mixing of earth and water – AKA wet dirt. For us lads it’s the result of a good sliding tackle. For the people of Murcia, it’s a…
Swimming with pigs in the Bahamas
I could waffle on about Bahamas for weeks, but I’m not here to sell the honeymoon destination – I’m here to talk about pigs. Now you must’ve seen the Expedia advert (below) and wondered whether you can actually swim with…

Dubai: Why you won’t want to stop coming back to this amazing place
Peering through the plane window, excited like a kid approaching Lego Land. It’s hard not to stare at the towering Burj Khalifa, which pierces the sky, dwarfing everything and anything. Glistening like a gothic Emerald city, the tallest structure on Earth…
Mount Kilimanjaro charity trek with a man carrying a ‘tiger’ on his back
Toronto: CN Tower Edgewalk, Niagara Falls helicopter ride and lots of wine
TWO beautiful Texan girls stepped up first as I watched in terror… I’m shaking, palms sweating and hands tightly clenched onto a piece of rope which prevents me from a 1,168ft plummet to death. Surely there’s a better way to view…

VIP weekend in Ibiza, Spain
