A scattering of pictures taken using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or my Canon 60D (40mm & 18mm - 200mm lenses) of my travels around the U.K and other parts of the world.
Some of the pictures I absolutely love more than others (our little secret)
This should have probably been my first video post but better late than never :)
I am not too sure how much you, my lovely readers, know about me but it is good for me to share as I am, after all, trying to be open and interact.
Here I answer a few questions which may help you understand me and my views a little better.
I answer the following questions:
Who I am,
Why I started my YouTube channel and blog,
What made me get into fitness and training,
What it is I do,
What advice I would give to my younger self,
What my favourite food is,
What was the best place I visited, and
What it is I do for fun. :)
I do hope you enjoy and please do go ahead and Subscribe to my YouTube channel and feel free to interact :)
I recently travelled to Carriacou (a luscious and beautiful island just off of Grenada in the Caribbean), the land where I grew up, and had such an amazing time seeing family and friends.
Spent some time on the beaches and enjoyed the warm sunshine as well as the delicious, organic foods and fruits on offer.
I have documented some of the trip in video format so in these 3 episodes I will be showing my journey from London to Carriacou via Trinidad.
Watch the videos and as usual, hope you enjoy and do feel free to leave comments. Also, please check out my YouTube channel and SUBSCRIBE for notifications on the next video. I will be posting content every week or so on different, interesting topics.
Here is episode 1 of my trip to Carriacou; I show you the beach and a few other cool things so do enjoy and be sure to visit some time in the future :)
LONDON to CARRIACOU: EPISODE 2
Here is episode 2 of my trip to Carriacou, the most beautiful Caribbean island you will ever visit, and in this episode I show you the beach and a few other cool things.
LONDON to CARRIACOU: EPISODE 3 (the finale)
This is episode 3 and the final in the series; I go to Grenada from Carriacou then a few days later fly out to Trinidad before going back to London.
I enjoyed the Grenada carnival and went to Grand Anse beach amongst other places.
So, went out to Chamonix, France (The Alps) with my work and had lovely board meetings (snowboard meetings) :) It is such a beautiful place in the winter and I have seen Google pics of the summer and it also look amazing then. The weather was perfect; sun was out in its glory, there was fresh powder (snow) on the ground from the night before and the slopes were simply magnificent. The food definitely did not let the locals and the country down as I loved everything I ate and drank (cheese is a big deal in Chamonix and can be found in a lot of their recipes).
I have learnt a lot on and off the slopes in Chamonix and I find the people there to be absolutely charming and a treat to socialise with; very quaint, pretty, little town. If you do intend to go at some point (and I recommend you do), be sure to take the cable car (gondola) up to see the view from "Aiguille Du Midi", 3,842m up. The views are so splendid; look to your right, you see Switzerland, in front of you and you see France then to your left and you see Italy.
Hope you enjoy these photos and video from my snowboarding trip to Chamonix.
I loved every minute of it and will definitely be taking my game up to another level for my return next year!

As I re-live the days of growing up in the Caribbean, I will be sharing some of my adventures and misfortunes with you. I am certain some of you who grew up in "De Caribbean" will be able to relate.
Growing Up In De Caribbean - Disciplining Kids
Is the way we discipline kids doing more harm than good, especially in a black dominated society?
Growing Up In De Caribbean - Free As A Bird
Are kids still roaming free and keeping active or has social media taken the element of surprise out of doing anything now?
Growing Up In De Caribbean - Education
Parents need to be more involved in their children's education.
Far too often we hear excuses as to why they can't and don't help out in strengthening their child's minds and with improving their children's chance of success in the world.
Growing Up In De Caribbean - Mishaps & Bad Behaviour
I was not always the nice guy... I have had a few encounters with authority and done a few silly things in the past. These are some of my stories.
Notting Hill Carnival 2015... were you or your friends captured? By far the most beautiful carnival experience you will get in Europe and with so many different cultures coming together to celebrate the struggles of black people and other ethnic group of the years it can only be great and get better. It was a totally beautiful time and if you missed it then make sure you are there next year. Watch the full video and feel free to leave your comments:

You have got to love a bit of black and white photography... it feels like it brings out the "pureness" in a subject.
Sometimes in life, we need to extract all the noise around and see what is truly there; experience the message and worry less about the messenger.
The whole point behind me doing these few pics in B&W is in line with the messages I have been trying to share (in my own little way) which is: "as balck people, we need to peel away all the fakeness, noise and distractions in our lives today and focus on what is underneath; find the true message and come to realise that we are truly beautiful and are worth way more than we would be led to believe".
A chair is useless unless someone sits in it. We need to take our rightful places in this world; find our seats at the table.
Don't be afraid to cross boundaries and lines to achieve what you know and believe to be right. "Rules are made to be broken".
Forget about "we come from kings and queens" and be that for your family. Show your children what is right by example.
Finally, when we look at our people, don't just see a blur of faces but instead understand that everyone is an individual and deserve love and respect. We need to STOP fighting our own people and killing each other.
