Bonnie Banks of Loch Atitlan 🌋
A few weeks ago a restaurant called Kinnik Atitlan (in Guatemala) got in touch and asked me to perform one evening.
Based on their pics it looked pretty cool, but I didn’t imagine the view to be this good! 🤤

Most terrifying sound in the jungle?! 💀😟

One of the freakiest things about coming to Petén (Guatemala) is hearing this!

You’d think these animals would be HUGE but they’re kinda small given the noise they make! 🦁

The Old Man! ⛰️
From some angles, I reckon the Old Man or Storr looks like a spaceship. When no one is around it’s like a scene out of Foundation (great series btw!). Two weeks and I’ll be back on these same steps! 🚀

Nomads World Cultural Festival 🇲🇳
On our last day in Mongolia we we went to this Nomads’ festival. Given nomadic traditions are big part of #Mongolian culture, it was a really cool way to experience a mix of cultures all at once. @UKinMongolia

Bagpipes in Mongolia! 🇲🇳
A morning wake up to ‘Hector the Hero’ as we camped on the edge of the Gobi desert. Stunning!! 🤩

Mongolian throat singing paired up with the horse fiddle! Incredible 🤩 🐎
We arrived at our camp near the Gobi desert and we were welcome with this!

Has one Ayrag 😅 🇲🇳
A Mongolian welcome is quite something to experience. It doesn’t always involve a dance but it does include Ayrag - fermented horse milk! 🐎🥛

It’s hard to miss the Old man of Storr when you’re visiting Skye! ⛰️ It’s always pretty special getting to pipe for guests at this viewpoint - the scenery mixed with the natural amphitheatre shape of the landscape. Uff incredible!

Tracht or Kilt?!🇨🇭
Switzerland might not be big but its diversity in traditional dress or “Tracht” is impressive. Gives Scottish Highland Dress a run for its money! A big “Grazcha Fich!” (thank you in Romansh) to Flurina & Waldhaus-Sils for the introduction! 💃 #IneedSwitzerland
