I love any kind of watersports, well any excuse just to be in the sea really. Before Bali I’d only ever been on a wakeboard, never a paddle board but it turns out it’s was pretty chill in comparison, and it was something I could actually get @robyncaitlin involved it too 😂 Sadly I don’t think she’ll be as up for my 2021 plans as next year I really wanna get out and try surfing 🏄🏻‍♂️ The question is, where to try it???

I’m not sure about you but I’m pretty sure I’d give just about anything to have the sun back on my skin right and my feet back in the sand right now. I mean, technically speaking I could easily go and put my feet in sand but the sun part has definitely become a myth. Instead, I swear we’re down to about an hour of light per day 😂

10 points to you if you get the quote, but seriously if you didn’t get a Bintag did you even go to Bali? I was late to the party when it comes to liking beer, but now wherever we go, sampling the local beers is one of my favourite things to do! Maybe i should start an “every beer around the world” scoring chart like Smithy and Gav!?

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted on here again. There’s a multitude of reasons why that may be, but besides the obvious “Corona” vibes getting in the way, one of the main reasons was due to becoming so disheartened about my posts. It seemed it didn’t matter how much effort I put in to captions or how much I actually liked my photos, nothing ever changed in terms of engagement and reach. 
.
BUT… life’s too short. There are clearly bigger things going on in the world right now and the world is definitely in a different place now. The truth is I actually enjoy sharing with people all of the incredible places I’ve been and the things I’ve seen. With any luck some of my posts may well inspire others to go see them too!
.
So, with that said, I’m back. Not sure how regularly and at no specific times, but for any of you who care I’ll be here, appreciating our beautiful little world and everything there is to do in it, starting off with some monkeys back in Ubud! Not going to lie, after reading a LOT about the place I was really nervous to go incase a monkey bit me but I’m still here, safe and well, with all of my extremities and it was an all round awesome experience! 🐒🐵 🐒

No trip to Ubud would be complete without a visit to the Sacred Monkey Forest. If you’ve been to Ubud before, you’ll know just how lively it is, with people and traffic constantly flowing all day long. From the moment you step inside the sanctuary though, all of the hustle and bustle of outside completely disappears and before you’ve even encountered a little Monkey friend, you’re immersed in a tropical forest-y paradise!🌴🐒🌴

I wasn’t joking btw, there is a Monkey in this shot, so get looking for it!🐒

This weekend I should be jetting off to Ibiza with some absolutely top lads, for my stag do. Sadly with everything that’s going on, that’s not going to happen. On the face of it I am genuinely gutted. I’ve wanted to go to Ibiza for the longest time but just never managed to get there. I love house music, the sun, sea and sand and to combine it with my stag was literal perfection. There’s also now the real chance I won’t get a stag do before my wedding. BUT… real talk…at the same time I’m ok with it. What’s happening with Covid-19 is serious and I couldn’t think of anything worse than jeopardising mine, my family or my friends health. As I said, I am gutted, really gutted. I’d much rather be on a beach with a beer but this is a time to rally together and heed the advice so that in the near future we can get back to normality and travelling again!
.
In the meantime, this weekend you’ll find me in my garden (which I feel so grateful we have), beer in hand and don’t be surprised if you hear my music. Shoutout to the boys who were coming with me and I can’t wait to rebook 😂🤙🏼🌴

You voted and I listened, but truth be told I liked both awkward photos and figured I’m not going to post both at different times so you can have them both 😂

I’m definitely photo taker rather than a model, I get back from trips and realise that if it wasn’t for @robyncaitlin making me awkwarddddly standing in front of the camera, you’d never know I had been anywhere! I’m getting better, but I still haven’t mastered it yet. Anyone else relate?

Bali was my first taste of daytime beach/pool clubs and I completely fell in love. Ever since then whenever the sun comes out all I wanna be is chillin’ beside some kinda water, with a beer in hand and house music in my ears 🍺 🎵 The sad thing is, in a couple of weeks time I was meant to be heading of to Ibiza for the first time for my stag-do but sadly I guess they clubs will have to wait. 😢

In the meantime, if anyone’s interested I made a day club playlist on Spotify. Search “Poolside Vibes 🌴” & look for the cover with luke written in the corner. You won’t be disappointed 🤙🏼

For me it’s freedom. Until now I’ve definitely taken for granted the basic ability of leave the house and going anywhere or doing anything I want to (law abiding obviously!). I’ve overlooked just how easy it is to go and immerse myself in different cultures and explore incredible landscapes that aren’t just on my front door. Well that stops now; I really hope that from now on, I will properly value what freedom is and grab on to every last chance to experience something new. Stay safe out there guys and make sure you’re looking out for our incredible NHS! 🚨 .
As a positive, this lockdown has finally got me inspired to get back to my photos and post on here again. First post since November! Mental!

Batur sunrise trek I wasn’t looking forward to a wake up call which closely resembled my bedtime 😂 BUT and it’s a big BUT, I have NEVER done anything more worthwhile in my life. After a 2 hour hike to the top I have never experienced anything so serene and beautiful as sunrise on a mountain top. .
I promise you when I say this, the wake up call may be off putting, but if you get the chance go and do this trek! You will not regret it!

I literally couldn’t find fault and it was super cheap! If you’re headed to Canggu, make sure you check this place out, you won’t be disappointed! 🛏

Almost forgot, this is also the first EVER hotel we’ve accidentally slept in at and missed the check-out time. The staff were totally cool with it but being woken up by why seemed like a dawn raid wasn’t the best experience 😂 I think of anything it shows just how amazing the bed was 😂

It’s been 10 years since @robyncaitlin and I first met and that means 10 years of adventures and making memories all over the world.

A destination that seems to be on everyone’s must-do list is now firmly on our must-go-back one.

I don’t know about you but at one point I was definitely guilty of being a happy snapper. More concerned about getting every single angle of photo possible rather than taking the time to stop and appreciate what’s in front of me. At first I thought having a million and one photos was a good thing, because it meant I could always look back and see exactly what I saw but in hindsight the best part about memories isn’t just the visual, it’s the feelings, the sounds, the smells, none of which are contained within a photograph. SO, from now on photos come second to experiences and taking a moment to take it all in…

I’ve been watching a lot of Marie Kondo recently to see if I could break the habits of a lifetime and get rid of the stuff I don’t actually need, so of course I’ve been asking the question, “does it spark joy?” Going beyond just my possessions and looking at things in my life in general, when it comes to travel the answer for me is a resounding YES it most definitely does. I would say whole heartedly it’s one thing I don’t think I would want to live without. 🌎🛩🧳

For the longest time I’ve always chucked all of my camera gear into a trusty @herschelsupply “Herritage” backpack. Now I use Herschel bags daily and I’ve beaten them up and trust me when I say they will take everything you can give them and more. BUT…

I started to realise that practically the Herschel bags weren’t right for travel adventures and camera gear. There’s no padded partitions to store gear, waterproofing or even any separate compartments and so it was time for something else. Say hello to my new weapon. The @gopro “seeker” backpack. This was actually a leaving gift from my guys at @wearefinally so I didn’t chose it but it is ideal. Super light, mad comfy, weather-resistant and has all of the room and compartments you could need. What’s more it looks amazing and unlike the bulky Herschel it’s really sleek and compact on my (rather slight 😂) back. My backpack game has gone from 0—100 REAL quick. .

They are constantly moving, you feel the ground rumbling below you, hear the thundering roar around you and feel the spray of the water as you just stand and stare. Fun fact for you: The Athabasca Falls may not be the biggest waterfall in the Rockies but it is the most powerful! 🙌🏻💦🤙🏼 .

All that separates you from a 280m drop is a piece of glass but if you dare to peer beneath your shoes, you’ll feel as if you’re being suspended right in the middle of the Sunwapta Valley, surrounded by waterfalls, wildlife, fossils and so much more. Trust me when I tell you, it’s worth ‘risk’… 🏔

If you’re ever in the Jasper area then the Glacier Skywalk is an absolute must see. I’ve stood on the glass platforms of so many landmark buildings, the Calgary tower not long before this for example, but being 918ft above the Sunwapta Valley and looking straight down was an altogether different experience. Trust me when I say, I’d go back again and again, in every different season if I could! 🏔🌲🏔

Who loves shooting with GoPro?
Keen eyed people may notice, this is the 2nd GoPro shot out of the previous 3 on my feed which is a rarity. I used to LOVE GoPro. I had the hero Black 3 and 4 I couldn’t get enough. They came everywhere with me, even doing a 365 picture a day challenge. Then I got the 5 and the love faded big time. Short battery life, a huge faff to set up and keep the WiFi connections and a picture quality that I didn’t think compared at all to the last 2 generations were just a few of my niggles. All of this meant I neglected it, sometimes not even packing it for trips. Truth is I miss it, there’s nothing that can capture more of you and the surroundings better than a GoPro so it’s time for a second chance. So, rant over, expect to see more super wide shots from this baby 😍🤙🏼👌🏻

.
This is a phrase I have ALWAYS dismissed. In my head, things happened because you made them happen and not because they were always going to but now I’m not so sure… As I’ve already said, on the day I proposed my entire plan had fallen apart and I was left thinking “oh shit”. All I could do was hope that our final stop would be a worthy place and I hadn’t missed out earlier in the day. We hopped in the car and Robs set the nav to stop at Peyto Lake along the way to our next hotel, at least she thought she had. The lake should have been a 45 minute drive from Lake Louise but an hour and a half later there was still no sign. I stopped and we checked the nav. It hadn’t been set. We were now 50km away from Peyto in the wrong direction. At this point we either carry on and miss the opportunity or we go back and I cross my fingers that it’s worth it. It was. As soon as we arrived I was in awe. I took Robyn on a slight (very steep) hike down to our own little vantage spot. No one around, just us and the view. Then my life changed. So many factors of that day to my mind went wrong but in the end everything worked out for the absolute best. It’s this reason I now believe that things do happen for a reason and sometimes you’ve just gotta roll with it… 🏔😍💍

I really hadn’t heard too much about Peyto Lake. Robyn was really keen to see it, saying it was meant to be amazing but like always I didn’t look anything up and just went along with it. The truth is that in hindsight I am so glad that I didn’t look anything up beforehand because after Moraine I didn’t think I could see anything more stunning but I was totally wrong. After parking up and taking a quick 10 minute walk to the summit, my first glimpse of Peyto Lake really took my breath away and left me completely speechless 😍🏔😱

Real talk, proposing ain’t easy.

Before we left for Canada I had it all planned. The day, the location, the ring and obviously the girl. Yeah I was a little nervous, but in my mind but I had this sorted. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The day came and for sentimental reasons Lake Louise was the location but as soon as we arrived at the lake I knew it wasn’t going to happen there. Now I’m not someone who gets phased easily but trust me, panic set in quick. After being at Moraine lake earlier that morning I got really frustrated with myself that I hadn’t just done it there, after all it was beautiful, but I remembered there was a plan for a reason and so I was right to have waited. Problem was my plan had now fallen apart and it was time to think on my feet…

Moraine Lake, you blew me away but it was time to head to Lake Louise. I’d heard so much about this place and how incredible it was said to be, so after Moraine I had such high hopes. Sadly from the moment we arrived I was kinda disappointed. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a lovely place, it really is, but I prefer places that feel almost untouched and Lake Louise couldn’t be more the opposite with its vast crowds and hotel almost at the water edge. Nevertheless we set out and began to explore…

The only thing that would have made it better would have been a hot cup of Rosie☕️🏔🚣🏻‍♂️👌🏻

Just because you’re not at a known tourist spot, doesn’t mean you have to walk around blind to your surroundings. I’m a BIG believer that what you see off the beaten track always surpasses what you see when you’re on it. Why? The element of surprise. When you’re at a tourist stop you know you’ve gotta look and you’re expecting a certain something. Dare I say it, I’ve been to many places and been disappointed. Wander off the beaten track and all expectations disappear. Everything is unexpected and that will change your view.

I’ve mentioned this before but so often I see people talking about solo travel and how it’s absolutely vital that you do it. Don’t get me wrong, I can totally see why but at the same time I really think traveling with someone has some serious advantages. One of those being that it can push you to do things you wouldn’t normally do. Case in point, this photo. Without me @robyncaitlin probably wouldn’t have braved the glass floor but with a little coaxing we stepped out together and got this awesome photo.

Firstly, let’s just address the elephant in the room. I’ve become absolutely dreadful with Instagram. There, I said it. Needless to say, motivation has been at an all time low, especially after the amount of new accounts I have seen recently with (in my eyes) not quality content yet getting far more impressions and engagements than I have ever got. I know it shouldn’t get to me but it did so I walked away for a bit.
Secondly there have been some huge changes for me recently that are massively exciting and on top of that I have just got back from 2 weeks in Canada 🇨🇦. SOOOOO, prepare for some new (hopefully killer) content and some changes in my life!

Anyone else get straight on a city tour bus?
.
For me the first item on any new city’s itinerary is to get on a tour bus and take in the city. The bus gives you a higher viewpoint than pounding the streets on your feet meaning you see more and 9/10 times a tour bus hits most of the top attractions in the city along it’s route meaning you can sit back and quickly get your bearings rather than struggling with a map.
.
We’ve been with most of the different tour companies before but our favourite tends to be @citysightseeingworldwide. Sadly this time the route was less than ideal with big gaps between stops, long-ish wait times and key sight stops not really being that close which was a real shame. My advice; do your research before hand but I still swear by a tour bus to get to know a city!

After a 4 day week last week, this weeks proving to be somewhat of a marathon but those picturesque Amsterdam views are getting me though, along with the thoughts of a new adventure! 💭🌎

Instagram and the lack of engagement has had me really demotivated for the past couple of weeks, hence the intermittent posting but after taking the weekend away from my phone for my birthday, I’m back with new motivation and new goals so watch out and maybe even get excited!

On a different note, give me a little birthday like and whilst you’re there, anyone got any idea which birthday it was?

The last time I had a 4 day weekend I was in the Netherlands with the boys. This weekend was much calmer, thanks mainly to the crap British weather but given the chance, I would definitely have been back in the Jordaan, chilling by the canal, beer in hand!🍺🍺🍺 How was your Easter?

So many people bang on about how great solo travel is, but one of my favourite things about traveling with other people is seeing a place through their eyes. I know I can’t literally do that but I love just seeing how people experience a new culture or surroundings. It can really make you notice things that you might normally just pass by. •
Anyone else prefer traveling with others? It can’t be just me, right?

This image says everything about why I am here on Instagram. I love talking to people. It’s actually a bit of a problem because I can talk far too much sometimes but I love meeting people and finding out about them and their experiences.

SO… it’s time to chat. I wanna get to know the people that follow me, so hit me up, don’t be shy, whatever you wanna talk about, travel or not! Let’s chat… 💬💬💬
🇳🇱 Amsterdam ‘18 •  NEVER MAKE EXCUSES 😠😡🤬
•
I’m going to be honest. I fucked up. Well in my mind I did anyway. I spent some time yesterday looking back over the content I captured whilst in Amsterdam and was not happy. I sat there feeling like I’d got nothing and got really frustrated with myself that I’d wasted my opportunity. It would have been so easy to make excuses as to why this was the case and don’t get me wrong for like 5-10 minutes I definitely did that, but then it dawned on me… what happens is gonna happen and that’s just that. So, I’m going to use this as a learning experience. Next time, take @petermckinnon’s advice, plan more in advance and take more time. That being said I had a killer time with the boys and tbh maybe that’s just what I needed! 🤙🏻✌🏻👌🏻

Ever come back from your travels disappointed in what you’ve captured? I wanna hear about it
🇳🇱 Amsterdam ‘18 •  CULTURE SHOCK 🤳🏼🤳🏼🤳🏼
•
Let me tell you, I love the Stedelijk museum, mostly because it has some original Wim Crouwel but there are 2 very different things to note about it.
-
1. The Stedelijk building is stunning. It’s an incredible fusion of the old and the new. Completed in 2012 it’s striking architecture is an absolute must see, and fun fact, designed by the same architects that created the Anne Frank museum.
-
2. Go there with no pre-conceptions. What you are going to see is weird, slightly sexual at times and you will 100% be left saying I could have done that. That being said, it is fascinating so go check it out…

I’m definitely missing the snow, it made everything just stop for a moment and stand still. Time to just refresh. It’s the same as a home.

But the main reason I love the grid system of NY is in this picture. Here, we’re on the Highline on the Westside if the City and yet it feels like you can see straight down the road over to the East. It’s perfection! 🙌🏻🏙🚕

So this post is a shout out to all the people who you wouldn't wanna travel without.
🇺🇸 New York City '17 •  GET IT RIGHT 👀🏙👍🏻 •
It's Friday and I feel like death. Flu season is really hitting hard but going back over all my NY photos is getting me through. I love the view from the Top of the Rock, it's got it all. On one side the incredible city park and on the other the city itself. And the best bit, you get an undisturbed view of the postcard perfect Empire State Building.
Where are you favourite views? Hit me up… 💭
🇺🇸 New York City '17 •  DON'T LOOK DOWN 😱👇🏻💭

Actually do. It's so easy when you're up high to just look straight out across the horizon but you'll be missing so much of the city that you just wouldn't see from below! Just like the ghost sign hidden among the rooftops. Anyone else obsessed with old painted signage? 😍🙌🏻

You could be forgiven for thinking that this was just another luxury shopping mall, but that couldn't be more wrong. This incredible piece of architecture has been designed to look like dove taking flight and the glass down it's spine retracts to frame perfectly the freedom tower so that on a clear blue day if seems like a dream.
On September 11, the glass opens at 08:46—the time the first plane hit the Trade Center— and is positioned to frame the sun at 10:28, when the second tower fell.
Make sure you don't miss out on this whilst in NYC…

Click-bait much? I realised whilst looking though all my photos of New York that the fair majority of them are looking upwards because skyscrapers are the norm. It got me thinking that if you take everything at eye level and don't look around you would miss so much going on. You can take this pretty literally but in a deeper sense things come and go and the bad will come with the good so in the spirit of the freedom tower, always keep you're head up & keep going. Who knows what you might miss if you don't!? 👀👆🏻🙂

We took the time to not only see the bridge but go over and hang out on the Dumbo area and all I can say is make sure you do. It's a killer area full of cafes, shops and places to chill.

As far as driving goes I've never driven anywhere better. The mountains as a backdrop to incredible winding roads, it's no wonder why so many people want to experience the High Alpine Road. Although this was an incredible place to visit I went not just for the driving but also to pay my respects. In 2015 an old friend was taking part in a road rally when the vehicle he was in lost control and crashed. He lost his life doing something he was passionate about and although that doesn't make anything better it made me realise life is short, don't waste time or take anything for granted.
