The Polar Bear Adventure: Part III

It's a cold and blustery day here in Copenhagen.  Snow has been falling all day - the cold air converting biker's deep breaths into jets of steam. The barely audible grunts as they strain against their pedals, pushing …

The Polar Bear Adventure: Part II

Whoof. Woof. Wolf?  Our ears were bombarded by a chorus of dog sounds as we stepped out of our vehicle and onto pristine white snow at the Wapusk Dog sledding headquarters. The dogs knew we were there, they had heard u…

The Polar Bear Adventure: Part 1

You know things are either off to a brilliant, or ill fated start when you learn that your charter flight which flew at the crack of dawn was the only Churchill bound flight that left the airport. As a bit of an obnoxious optimist, and in light of the minimal turbulence we were experiencing, I tos…

I'm a massive polar bear fan.  It's hard to give just one reason why.  Perhaps it is their massive size or the exotic nature of their native regions.  It may be their pension for making ridiculous looking faces. Or per…

In 2007 I set out on a three-month solo trip through Europe, in 2011 I re-located to Copenhagen. I’ve been authoring VirtualWayfarer ever since with a focus on sharing stories, musings, and advice through a visually and narrative rich format. I’m also the author of Practical Curiosity: The Guide to Life, Love & Travel and the inventor of the MistDefender lens cloth.

I document my travels on a Sony A7RV and iPhone 16Pro.
