A hell of a lot has changed this week, huh? We've gone from most-things-as-normal to everybody-stay-at-home in the space of a few days. Any other time, any other year, I wouldn't have really minded. As of yesterday, pubs and restaurants are shut in the UK, but I can live with that. Working from home? Fine… Continue reading 14 Things To Do While You’re Self-Isolating

2019: My Year In Review
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.

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

Why I’ve Given Up Counting Countries
This weekend, I'm off to Ireland - my 30th country! Or maybe my 33rd. Or maybe even my 28th. Who knows? And who, in fact, cares? I've always enjoyed counting countries, but not as a ticking off exercise or to be self-congratulatory; more just to keep track of where I've been and celebrate what I… Continue reading Why I’ve Given Up Counting Countries
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
