2018, I’ve got big plans for you. Not only will I turn 30 and achieve a lifelong dream to visit Petra, 2018 will also be the year that this little blog of mine becomes more than just a hobby. I’ve always had good intentions – I think I’m okay at taking photos, and I get[…]

2016 Travel Highlights: My Year in Travel
2016 has been a pretty weird year. But, ignoring Trump, Brexit and far too many tragic celebrity deaths, it’s been a pretty incredible year for me when it comes to 2016 travel highlights. My blog turned 1, I ticked a few places off my bucket list and I racked up a whole 8 trips abroad with[…]
When was the last time you had a holiday close to home? If you live in the UK, you’re blessed with little towns dotted about the place, all offering somewhere to go and something to see; just without the cost of flights or the need to change your currency. Hey, did that rhyme? Over the[…]
About 40% of the world’s population are monolingual. And that’s genuinely one of the scariest statistics I’ve ever heard.

And, until last weekend, I would have chosen a trip abroad over a staycation in a heartbeat. Yet, last weekend changed all of that. It was only my[…]
I love surprises. Especially surprises that involve going somewhere. So when Tim told me to pack my bags and get in the car for a weekend away, I couldn’t wait. Being a bit of a fan of historic cities and mediaeval history, he had organised a trip to Kent which is just full of castles,[…]
My full-time job is the only thing that’s stopping me from travelling. Actually – that’s a lie. There are other things like money and my cat, but really my full-time job isn’t stopping me at all – I spend most free moments thinking about my next destination, planning or trip or actually taking one. Even[…]
Last weekend, Tim and I had a lovely couple of days away in Cambridge. It’s a city I’ve been meaning to visit for ages, but have just never got around to it. Desperate to fill the gap between our holidays in Copenhagen and Sri Lanka, March was the perfect time to finally go. With just[…]
