In November, to break the monotony of everyday life I went to Oslo for a week. I’d been wanting to go for a while, and every Scandinavian country is on my list as I like the general culture and history of that part of the world. Oslo has plenty of that and it certainly didn’t...Read More
For my trip around Belgium, I had to face the reality of staying in hostels. By which I mean that I had a set idea of what hostels were, and had yet to experience what they were really like. I planned three weeks travelling around various cities, and aside from one B&B on my brief...Read More
Hello from Iceland! This is my third trip here and I’m out in the sticks. A beautifully situated mini cabin with a mountain on one side and a bay on the other. The scenery here is truly spectacular, I could be a happy hermit here, occasionally scuttling out for supplies but mostly either frolicking around...Read More
The first elephant I met in Thailand, venturing nervously into a wild animal’s enclosure and fairly sure I was going to die, was called Nam Chok. Back then, there were seven elephant residents at the rescue centre where I volunteered, and the day after my fifteen hour flight and hour long drive I was thrown...Read More
It’s almost time for sun-kissed skin and cocktails by the beach, but most of us are panicking about where to jet off to this summer. If you’re really organised, you would have booked your holiday in December and probably saved about £500. But if you’re like me, taking months on end deciding on the perfect...Read More
I know this is a bit late, but the bombings that occurred in Brussels last week made me flinch and grind my teeth with anger. This is not how Belgium should become a household place name, it’s not how people should hear of Brussels or see its architecture, beauty and culture. I’m sad to see...Read More
I’ve overcome my laziness to make more travel plans for this year. In August, I’ll be jetting off to Colombia to work with sloths in a rescue centre. By which I mean I’ll be looking after the sloths, not working alongside them. I have to pay the deposit by next week, then there’s no going...Read More
As I’ve discovered in my recent trip planning, a one way ticket to Denmark costs approximately £27.00-£96.00 depending on times, airports, companies etc. Honestly, I found it more believable that I’d read the prices wrong and that the flights cost into the thousands. In reality, I could make a round trip to and back from...Read More
My first ever trip abroad was a week long holiday to Iceland with my parents. I know, I said the first trip I planned was my Thailand adventure, which is very true. My mum and dad didn’t think a fifteen hour flight with a stopover in Oslo should have been my first experience of flying,...Read More
On the centennial year of the beginning of World War One, I visited the small Belgian town of Ypres, or Ieper as its Dutch name is. I didn’t actually plan this, but my Belgium trip was in 2014 and I didn’t feel I could go to the country without visiting Ypres. After all, it’s a...Read More
