Could not have asked for a better tour leader (Olivia) and crew on the boat. If you have any queries whatsoever, or simply want to make contact, please don't hesitate to write to me - here. Stoke Afloat was one of the best weeks of my life. All writing, photography and media on the site are my own unless credited to others. Yet another couple lives on a farm with a herd of sheep and ducks and goats. Another has created a sanctuary in the woods, with a yurt and A-frame they built themselves, where they are at one with nature’s silence and sounds.

It's my intention to share my knowledge and wisdom in the areas of my expertise and experience, in the hope this may offer folks relevant insights, new awareness and inspiration. One couple lives in a house that might make a room in a campus residence hall seem spacious. I am convinced that this simple life of being and doing is much more satisfying for young people than one of endless having and of watching television. I regularly keep the site updated with new content, so please drop by from time to time to see what I'm up to and what has been added. I hope you enjoy exploring my website using the drop-down tags above. I’m a proponent of minimal living, an expeditionary sea kayaker, an adventurer, a photographer, a writer, an aspirant video maker, a workshop facilitator, an inspirational public speaker, and importantly, a vocal advocate for mental health and suicide awareness I live with treatment resistant depression and I am a suicide attempt survivor.

I live in Tobermory on the beautiful Isle of Mull in Scotland. This Pin was discovered by a simple life afloat. I approached the chief executioner and asked him to show me the sword he was holding in his hand.
