Unfortunately I’ve not had much off road runs with it but they are coming early in the year! The little I have done though has left me [...]

On the way back from Jozie we decided to break the long flight and stay a few days in Singapore. It reminded me how much I love Asian food. I was amazed at how clean the city was. The weather reminded me of our days in Taipei. Singapore is just in another class. Clean and [...]
