Inked and Abroad presents – The Glob
Hey who let you in? Oh, the front door was open? No worries. In that case, welcome to my Glob!
I know what you’re thinking. Glob sounds weird. A bit like the noise a meat pie makes when it falls out of a window. And that’s true. What’s also true is that there are so many blogs online that I couldn’t bear to add another. Plus I think ‘glob’ sounds hilarious.
Life is pretty short, my battle with Leukaemia has made me acutely aware of that. But at the same time, life is quite long. In the confusing grey area between those two realities is where you’ll find this glob.
I write about the places I see on my travels. The people I meet. The things that happen. Sometimes these will result in great travel tips for your next adventure. Other times, they’ll be a self-indulgent mess. What you manage to take from them is really up to you. I hope you learn something. I hope you’re entertained. But what I hope most of all, is that they remind you that the very darkest moment in your life, a period that sees you at your lowest ebb, can really be the beginning of the best times you’ve ever known.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the glob.

Baby
Mexico Nightlife – “Is this the mild one?” I asked. A question, directed at no one in particular. Unsurprisingly, there was no reply. Sitting at the end of a long table that felt less secure than my financial future, I hadn’t yet taken a bite [...]
Sexual Heroin
West Yellowstone National Park – “Sexual Heroin”. She repeated herself. “I am sexual heroin”. Then paused. Letting the words she had used to describe herself wash over me. This was a woman who was trying to entice me, and maybe perhaps threaten me, to this [...]
Russia – A House in the Hills
SOCHI – Nestled high in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains and surrounded by coniferous, cypress-tree forest, is a house. A sprawling, multi-roomed mansion that must be seen to be believed. If you can see it at all. For decades, its odd green walls have [...]
Russia – Raj and in charge
– Check out Inked and Abroad’s previous Russian adventures here – “You are sick” the Chinese airport official repeated. “And this is quarantine”. I’d only left Sydney 10 hours ago. En route to Russia to find my brother for the upcoming Confederations Cup football tournament. [...]
