This blog. It's everything I hoped for. I read the posts and suddenly felt at ease that the craving for a 'life less ordinary' is as abundant in others as it is in me.

This blog is so honest and real. I love how you don't shy away from talking about the tricky stuff, the times when life abroad is really tough.

I read this blog and I wanted to let you know how much I admire your work. The posts made me realise I'm not alone and I thank you for that.

We're on the verge of another life changing move in our fifties and your post gave me the nod I have been needing.

This is one of my all-time favourite blogs. Russell makes me want to go in search of a life less ordinary on a daily basis. If you haven't read it yet, you're missing out.

Wow, this is one of your best posts ever. I get goosebumps reading it!

Thanks for putting into words my experiences. I'll send this to my closest friends and family so they'll understand why I left Argentina to travel the world.

Russell is one of those people you meet and instantly feel inspired by. His blog is raw, honest and quirky and provides compelling reading with every entry.

Russell's ability to examine his conscience on the page gives his writing a delicious intimacy that the reader can't help but be drawn into. Clear and straight-talking, his work never fails to entertain.

Aisha A., Toronto 10/04/2015

Russell is one of the those talented writers with an ability to mine the 'story behind the story' for a far more interesting insight. His pieces on family, relationships and fatherhood are stellar.

I want to say how much I've enjoyed reading your blog. I'm returning to the UK today, leaving my beautiful girlfriend here until we can figure something out. I found your blog to be of comfort.

I'm consistently inspired by Russell and his site. Above everything, his openness and willingness to share his knowledge and experience are what make him one of my favourite online voices.
