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
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
I can never really decide if I want to do a year in review post until it gets to Christmas and I suddenly realise the year's almost over and start looking back at what I've done, what's happened and thinking about what's going to happen. 2018 has been a really strange year for me.

Of all the places that took us by surprise on our road trip, I think San Diego comes out on top. It wasn't even on our initial itinerary. I was pretty sure we weren't going to have time, especially when I found out that Yellowstone National Park closes on November 5th and we'd have to… Continue reading We Wish We Had More Time In San Diego
It's no secret that I'm not a fan of LA. After my brief stop there ten years ago, I always said I wasn't bothered about ever going back. But it felt kind of unavoidable on a road trip that was leading us down the coast of the USA, and in some ways I did want… Continue reading A Fleeting Visit To Los Angeles
It seems like I've been ticking off a lot of bucket list items on this trip - and our drive down the Californian coast along the infamous Highway 1 was no exception. We hit really lucky with our road trip in California - we missed the recent fires by a couple of weeks, escaped the… Continue reading Ticking Off A Bucket List Road Trip: Driving Highway 1 & Big Sur
When I was going through my photos from San Francisco to try and choose which ones to use for my blog post about our time there, I really struggled to narrow it down to less than 50. The main reason for this is because San Francisco is full - FULL - of pretty buildings. Of… Continue reading Photo Friday: The Pretty Buildings Of San Francisco
Yosemite National Park has always been one of those places that I've really wanted to visit for as long as I can remember hearing of it, but in reality I actually had no idea what to expect because I'd never researched it. So while I knew we were going to be in for some beautiful… Continue reading Yosemite In A Day: All Of The Incredible Views In Yosemite National Park
