It’s been a while since I’ve done a Photo Friday post! I need to make them a regular thing again. Let’s kick it off with something you would never kick – cute animals! Zoos can be a point of contention, but Edinburgh Zoo is very much focused on its conservation efforts and that shows everywhere …
Clazz’s 2017 Challenges: March Update
Well guys, we’re suddenly a week into April and time is whizzing away from me, so it’s about time I did my March update! March was a real up and down month for me. It started off on a high as I was in London, and ended on a high because I started a new …
My Highlights Of Edinburgh
There’s just something about Edinburgh. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I don’t know if it’s the beautiful buildings on every street, or the cobblestone streets that instantly add character, or the wild and raw history of the city, or the wonderfully friendly people, or the atmospheric suburbs, or the endless things to …
Five Cities, Six Buses, Two Trains, One Week: My UK Adventure
When I started planning this trip, I was only going to hit up Edinburgh to see one of my favourite bands and catch up with a few friends. A weekend turned into a “long weekend” when I thought it might be a good idea to take an earlier ferry just in case, and my plan …
Clazz’s 2017 Challenges: February Update
Hey guys! I have just returned from an epic week-long trip around the UK where I hit up Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, London and Sussex, saw one of my favourite bands, caught up with a whole bunch of friends, and acted like a tourist in places I’ve been a million times. It was a really great …

Australian Wildlife: The Good, The Bad & The Unexpected
You hear it all the time. Everything in Australia wants to kill you. I’m not gonna lie, guys: I’ve wanted to visit Australia for as long as I can remember, but I’ve always been terrified of the idea of spiders the size of dinner plates and crocodiles biting your arm off and snakes hiding in …
Why It’s Important To Travel Now More Than Ever
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” I’ve seen this Mark Twain quote bandied about a lot recently, and it’s made me consider why people think the way that they do. Someone said the other day, to my face, that “Muslims are murderers”. She said …
Clazz’s 2017 Challenges: January Update
We’re at the end of the first month of 2017! It’s gone quick, but I’m making a lot of headway with my 2017 challenges, so I thought I’d keep you up-to-date (this will keep me motivated too!). Make at least £50 extra per month on “side hustles” We’ve been pretty busy this month with my …
#tbt: A Birthday Break To Athens, Greece
One thing Ash is absolutely passionate about when it comes to history is Greek mythology, so in the hunt for a birthday present a few years ago I naturally dug around for some cheap flights and treated him to a city break in the heart of Greek history: Athens! Greece wasn’t high on my travel list, …
