An Orcadian Abroad

welcome

… a blog from the heart of a Scottish island girl in search of the world’s adventures on a budget. Thanks for stopping by!

In the past ten years, I’ve backpacked for 18 months, lived in Australia & Canada, worked in the US, volunteered in Thailand, taken day trips to Europe, sky dived over mountains & lived in a hostel.

I’ve also visited Paris for £10, driven a boat without killing anyone, got in a fight with a monkey (not while I was driving the boat) and once climbed a mountain barefoot.

Oh, and I own an unhealthy amount of rubber ducks.

Sound like your cup of tea? Ooh, I’d love one actually! Milk and one sugar, please. And while we do that, I’d love it if you followed along on my adventures!
