For a few months now I haven’t had much going on travel-wise. We can blame that on running out of money and graduating from university – and the exhaustion of trying to find a job that comes with it, of course. BUT… there are plans coming together that I’m very excited to do and write … Continue reading
It’s hard to be away from home when you’re travelling or living elsewhere for a long time – I realised that soon after I got off the plane when I landed in Melbourne, ready to study there for half a year. When I got to my new room at three in the morning (it doesn’t … Continue reading
The oldest, most ancient of the age old questions (ok, maybe not)… Bondi or Manly? For me, this is so startlingly obvious I could dance and skip up and down Manly beach from sunrise to sunset. So I guess I’ve given it away? Everyone raves about Bondi. So naturally I’m sceptical about it. I felt … Continue reading
Melbourne isn’t known for its beaches (all the more reason to dive a little deeper), but the wonderful world of Oz is. When I lived there, I was eager to explore what was on offer in the city. I knew I couldn’t surf in Melbourne (booooo!) but I took great memories from its beaches. … Continue reading
To follow on from my Rooftop Cities post, I thought it was a good moment to appreciate the untouched views around us (from a bit of a height to keep the trend). After all, I think the nature around us is the most beautiful thing of all, and one of the aspects of travel that … Continue reading
Are you choosing the right friends to go travelling with? I came to find that the people you travel with is a similar decision as picking roommates – just because you’re friends with someone doesn’t mean they’d be great to travel/live with. And boy, have I had some experience with both! There are certain things … Continue reading
Bali’s one of those places where you dream of the perfect fine-sand beaches, lying in a hammock sandwiched between palm trees overlooking the almost sickeningly shimmering clear sea. So perfect it’s heart-wrenching. Thing is, you have to find this Bali. It’s out there, but when I went there with my boyfriend, we didn’t see as … Continue reading
Road trips are undeniably fun. And we all know how we envisage them, like a scene out of Crossroads, singing along to Shania Twain in an open top car with Britney Spears… No? Just me? Anyway, so road trips are a great way to travel, but there are some things to always remember. I’ve road … Continue reading
Like all good porn (maybe? I don’t know), I’m spreading this (again, I’m assuming it spreads). I have distributed pictures of mine with the link to this blog written (rather nicely) on the back around London. It would be nice that if people found them, it would just be something different to their day, a … Continue reading
How many of us really know our home city? Unless you’ve answered, “Yeah, I do, really well” and I’ve stumbled into an awkward situation here, I’ll take the people who answered, “Actually, not that well” and bond in our neglect. You may know some places to go, the general vibes of neighbourhoods, like I do, … Continue reading
