The other night, I sat down and watched Disney’s Moana with a few friends (a good night in, I’ll have you know!) and I kept wistfully thinking about how if I were a kid watching it, my eyes would glaze over with wanderlust, my heart would spin and the traveller within me would stir slightly. It …
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 …
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 …
“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 …
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 …
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, …
It was my birthday last week (one step closer to 30 – eek!) and all the post was cancelled. I can thank Orkney’s weather for that. So it was a lovely surprise this week to open a little package from one of my favourite travel gift companies, El Camino! El Camino specialises in making beautiful …
If there’s one new years resolution you should have this year, it’s to save money for that dream trip. And what better way to do that than earning a bit of extra money from the comfort of your own home? If you’ve ever looked into ways to earn money online, you’ve probably heard of filling …
Well, 2016. I believe you’ve been quite the shitter for a rather large proportion of people on the planet. Between political disasters and some seriously shocking celebrity deaths (think Alan Rickman was the worst one for me, although he’s probably sitting on a beach somewhere earning his 20%), it’s not been one of the best …
Happy Friday, and a very merry Christmas Eve eve! Before we delve into my best of 2016 post, I’ve been meaning to do this one for a while – a huge photo essay of our 18 month trip around the world! Throughout 2015 and 2016, we spent three months exploring South East Asia followed by …
