Ok, so here’s the deal. I’ve been wanting to do a playlist post for a while now relating to what I’ve listened to on some of my travels. Obviously, like most people, I love music, and I think it’s a great way to get to know someone. I listen to it, and I’ve played it … Continue reading
I’ll never, ever say I’m a country sort of girl. I grew up in London and I feel weird without the hustle and bustle of a city. I like background sound, constant moving and frankly, I love getting irrationally pissed off at strangers. When I’m in London, I’m a woman on a misson: A to … Continue reading
My parents must be confused. I was a grumpy little whatsit when I was younger on our holidays. And now I keep a travel blog (and pretty obsessive about it). We went on cruises every year since I was 10 years old (until about 18) and my biggest interest for a long time was making … Continue reading
Ever wondered what it might be like to be covered head to toe in colour? Ever thought you might literally roll down a blue-powdered hill, just to get every smattering of colour on you possible? I have. And I did. This wish of mine probably stems from the same thing as it would to any … Continue reading
Cities are like relationships. I meet a place, get some first impressions – like I would a boy. I get to know a place, get some surprises or confirm my thoughts – like I would a boy. And just like I’ve gone and go through highs and lows with my personal relationships with boyfriends past … Continue reading
I love going through old pictures. Even way back when of travels I can only just remember – it’s always so fascinating to know you’ve seen amazing places through such young eyes. Last time I gave you the Pyramids of Egypt, and this time it’s an equally unique site in southwest Turkey: Pamukkale, the travertine … Continue reading
Rule number something-or-other of travel (or any type of) blogging: find a niche. Harness that niche. Now, is it just me or can this be slightly limiting? Don’t get me wrong, there are great bloggers who have slotted perfectly and naturally with theirs, and this post isn’t about slamming them – hats off to them, … Continue reading
Deciding to go and study abroad is a daunting thing. You were eager to join university, you’ve found your steps… and then you leave it behind for half a year/a year, plunging yourself into something entirely new. Again. I think it takes a certain kind of person to take the risk and get out there. … Continue reading
Travel is essentially the centre of my life: my job is in travel, my passion is travel, this blog is travel and my boyfriend lives across an ocean, in Boston, USA (for anyone who doesn’t know, I’m from London, UK) and we met while living in Australia. I get a lot of different reactions when … Continue reading
I’m not making it up, I promise. Ok, I admit, until I go to Boston/Cape Cod in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS, I don’t have an entirety of actual destinations to write about. But reverse culture shock is a topic that I’ve wanted to talk about for a while, because until I was hit by a … Continue reading
