2019 has been all about the next huge step of our lives. It's been about accepting the end of long-term travel adventures and embracing the new adventure of finding our forever home. For us, it was always going to be Edinburgh. We've been low-key planning to move to Edinburgh for pretty much the past decade… Continue reading 2019: My Year In Review

A Decade Of Travel And How Things Have Changed
Ten years ago, I was a fresh-faced 20-year-old with a hell of a lot ahead of me. In some ways, it feels like that was a lifetime ago; in others, I can't believe it's been a decade. There's no denying that a lot has changed in the past ten years. I've learned a lot about… Continue reading A Decade Of Travel And How Things Have Changed
I’ve Still Never Used Airbnb – Here’s Why
Airbnb has been receiving a lot of press recently, and not all of it is good. In fact, I would go as far as to say not much of it has been good at all. I remember when Airbnb first started. Bloggers quickly began gushing about the experiences they'd had in someone's home, and soon all… Continue reading I’ve Still Never Used Airbnb – Here’s Why

10 Things I’ve Learned In 30 Years
Today, I leave my crazy 20's behind and embark on my next adventure of being 30. It sounded scary for a while, approaching the realm of true adulthood (sorry - what's that again?), but as it got closer, I knew that it would be like turning 18, or 21: it doesn't really feel any different.… Continue reading 10 Things I’ve Learned In 30 Years
My Plans For 2019: Home, Abroad & Turning 30
2019 is going to be full of big plans. We'll be moving to a new city, hopefully permanently, and getting new jobs, hopefully permanent, and settling into an actual routine that resembles something of a normality for the first time ever - hopefully permanently! While I think I lived my 20's right, it was far… Continue reading My Plans For 2019: Home, Abroad & Turning 30
